In March this year
Bolton Muslim Girls School http://www.bmgs.bolton.sch.uk/home received an Interim
assessment from Ofsted .
Ofsted’s letter said that their interim assessment shows that the
school’s performance has been sustained and that they can defer its next full inspection not earlier
than 2013.
Then last last month over 300 school workers,
parents, residents and students lobbied school governors arriving for a meeting
at the Muslim Girls School in Bolton to discuss moving towards academy status
Now
it is being reported that the School Governors are at risk of being suspended and
are locked in a fight with Bolton’s education bosses but the reason remains a mystery.
Bolton Muslim Girls School’s governing board
is battling to have a council formal warning overturned.
The notice, which was issued earlier this month, could
lead to Bolton Council stepping in and replacing governors with an IEB.
Now the School’s governing
body is appealing to education watchdog Ofsted to overturn the notice.
Bolton Council has refused to reveal the grounds for the notice,
other than to say it had “a number of concerns about the governance”
The council has are awaiting
for a response from the school governors before considering its next step.
Governors have said they were
exploring the idea of becoming an academy, which would allow the school to
break away from the local authority and become a state-funded independent
school.
A Bolton Council spokesman
said: “The school has appealed against the formal warning notice and we are
waiting for Ofsted’s decision on this.”
