Forge Valley Community School
Ofsted
In May 2013 it was reported by local newspaper Sheffield Star that the school had been placed under special measures by Ofsted after being deemed 'inadequate'. The report, which was based on an inspection in March 2013, rated the school Grade 4 overall and in all areas, the lowest possible value in a scale from 1 to 4. Head teacher Diane McKinlay responded to the report by stating that Forge Valley was a new school "which is still developing and improving" results.
In late November 2013 Forge Valley received a short inspection from Ofsted.
