SIR JOHN CASS CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL, TOWER HAMLETS

Early day motion 554, tabled 26 November 2014 by George Galloway (Respect). Signed by 1 member.

That this House notes that Sir John Cass Church of England state school in Tower Hamlets has repeatedly been classed as outstanding by Ofsted, has excellent examination results, a high degree of integration between pupils from different communities and high levels of satisfaction amongst parents, pupils and teachers; further notes that the school management had already identified problems with a website set up by a sixth form society and was dealing with the problem, although it accepts that the speed of its response could have been swifter; and believes that the decision by Ofsted to put this outstanding school into special measures is, in the words of Melanie Phillips, a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and is politically motivated.
