Open DfE consultation: Intervening in failing, underperforming and coasting schools
The DfE is seeking views on the government’s proposals to address underperformance in local-authority-maintained schools.
DfE invites your views on how:
they define local-authority-maintained schools that are eligible for intervention
regional schools commissioners (RSCs) and local authorities should use their intervention powers
they propose to identify coasting schools
