Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy: Discipline

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report Local Child Safeguarding Practice Review: Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy, published in December 2025, and what steps they intend to take to hold the school to account for the practices highlighted in the report.

Answer

The department takes the findings of the Local Child Safeguarding Practice Review (LCSPR) very seriously. Our role is to ensure schools meet their statutory duties and respond appropriately to independent reviews and enquiries. Schools must safeguard and promote the welfare of every child.

The Mossbourne Federation has committed to taking forward the LCSPR’s recommendations and has set up an Implementation Committee to oversee changes. The London Regional Director is meeting Mossbourne trustees regularly to review progress.
