HUNDREDS of schools are stuck in a cycle of poor performance, according to an Ofsted report published today.

The new report, titled In Fight or Flight? How “Stuck” Schools Are Overcoming Isolation, has said that 415 schools – attended by 210,000 pupils – are being failed by the system.

Ofsted defines “stuck” schools as ones that have not received a “good” or “improved” rating since September 2006.
