Ofsted

Ofsted - The Sabden Multi Academy Trust

College Central was inspected by Ofsted on the 6^th and 7^th of February 2024 and the school was assessed to be inadequate in all areas and requiring special measures. A special measures monitoring inspection took place on the 5^th and 6^th of November 2024 and the report is available at the bottom of this web page. The report states that Leaders have made progress to improve College Central, but more work is necessary for the school to no longer be judged as requiring special measures.

The CEO of the Sabden Multi Academy Trust, Jo Foulkes said: “The wellbeing of our pupils and staff is of the utmost importance to us and we have consistently demonstrated this at our other schools. We are being open and transparent with parents and carers of current College Central pupils and will continue to update them on actions being taken to improve the provision during the transfer.”

A post Ofsted action plan is in place to continue to secure improvements prior to the transfer. The new Trust is building local capacity and working alongside College Central leaders to support rapid improvement in the interim with an intended transfer date of Spring 2025.
