A SCHOOL which was put into special measures by Ofsted has made good progress.
Bennerley Fields Specialist Speech and Language College, Ilkeston, was branded inadequate by inspectors after a visit in January.
It was told pupil achievement wasn't high enough and teaching was often inadequate.
As a result the school has regular inspections, the second of which took place last month.
In a letter to the school, inspector Sue Morris-King said good progress had been made since the first monitoring inspection and overall progress since special measures was satisfactory.
She said: "The improving quality of teaching is beginning to have a positive impact on pupils' progress, particularly in Key Stage 3.
"Most pupils' books and other work show that their progress has accelerated since the previous monitoring inspection. In the majority of lessons observed, pupils made steady progress. Pupils have adapted well to the new, more demanding ways in which they are being taught."
