School's turnaround after first girls accepted
A school that accepted girls for the first time in 2018 after being put into special measures has been rated "good" by inspectors.
Lancaster Academy - formerly Lancaster Boys School - was told to improve by Ofsted inspectors after a damning report in 2016. The school in Leicester was undersubscribed and was told it risked closure unless improvements were made.
Pupils now say "day by day the school is getting way better".
Principal Anna Fisher arrived just 19 days before the Ofsted inspection which put the school into special measures. Anna, and some of her current pupils, have been speaking to Helen McCarthy.
