“We continue to believe that the energies of Khalsa Academies Trust are best directed to securing rapid improvement and demonstrating that they are an organisation that is fit to deliver the best educational outcomes for children and young people.” Atam Academy has Ofsted’s highest Outstanding rating but, following a visit in November, inspector Mark Smith wrote to the school that its safeguarding is “not effective”, adding: “Trust leaders do not have a good enough grasp of safeguarding in the school… (and) rely too heavily on an external report. “External reviews of safeguarding practice have been partially completed and an existing action plan is being updated. However… it is too soon to evaluate any impact of recent actions taken.”
