The education watchdog Ofsted has apologised after publishing an unapproved inspection report into Durand Academy that placed the beleagured south London school into special measures. Ofsted criticised the school’s leadership and management, teaching quality and pupil welfare and outcomes in the report published late last night. But it has since been removed and is not longer available to view online. The watchdog confirmed this morning that the report had been removed deliberately. An Ofsted spokesperson said: “A version of the report that had not been approved for final publication on the Ofsted website was published in error for a short period of time. We have now taken it down from the website. “We have contacted the school’s representatives this morning to apologise for this error.” A final version will be published in the coming days, the spokesperson added. In the unapproved report, Ofsted said the school’s senior leaders have “inflated view of the school’s strengths” and underestimated “the seriousness of its weaknesses”. Inspectors also criticised variations in the quality of teaching and problems with pupil behaviour. Durand has been contacted for comment.
