The Wrenn School in Northamptonshire has been warned that it could have its funding agreement terminated, and New Line Learning Academy in Kent has received a warning notice.
The North West London and South Central England regional school commissioner, Martin Post told the Education Fellowship Trust that its school had serious weaknesses, after finding the school inadequate at its October inspection. The Trust must respond to the commissioner.
Regarding the New Line Learning Academy, the regional schools commissioner for South East and South London, Dominic Herrington, wrote a pre-warning notice letter to its operator, Future Schools Trusts, in November. But provisional Key Stage 4 results for progress of pupils showed that the school had not improved, triggering the warning notice.
The notice instructs the academy to provide evidence that it is improving and also requires school leaders to demonstrate that they doing something to improve the quality of teaching.
If Future Schools Trust is unable to show progress before 13 February then the education secretary will have the power to appoint new governors to the school.
