Recent history

An Ofsted inspection[when?] graded the school "Inadequate in all areas", with comments such as "Teaching is inadequate and does not ensure students make enough progress, especially in mathematics and science". The school was placed in Special Measures.[3]

The Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove, ignored the schools attempts to federate with Robert Clack School, and decided the school should become an Academy. The Secretary of state imposed an Interim Executive Board and Academy Order on 6 January. On 16 January 2014 Barking and Dagenham Local Authority and the governing body of Warren School gained a High Court injunction against Michael Gove's plans to impose academy status on the school.[4][5]

Mr Justice Collins ruled that an Interim Executive Board and Academy Order could not go ahead until there had been proper consultation on the school's plans to federate with the nearby Robert Clack School. The Judge said “this decision should never have been made", and Michael Gove had failed to make any arguments against the council's alternative proposal. Mr Justice Collins said it seemed that present Secretary of State "thinks academies are the cat's whiskers - but we know some of them are not".[4][5]

This is the first school to successfully challenge such an order.[5] However the school remains an academy sponsored by the Loxford School Trust.[6]

In 2024, the School was certified 'Outstanding' in all areas by Ofsted.[7]
