Warning notices to academies in the East Midlands

Notices issued to academy trusts following an Ofsted inspection at an academy.

Notices from Carol Gray, Department for Education (DfE) Regional Director for the East Midlands to academy trusts about academies causing concern.

The guidance on support and intervention in schools provides details on the action that regional directors may take when academies are underperforming or have weaknesses in safeguarding, governance or financial management.

A spreadsheet listing all notices about underperformance issued to academy trusts is also available.

Notices and letters published before September 2022 are available in a separate collection of legacy notices.
