It is not within Ofsted's powers to disclose such confidential information prior to publication and the decision sits firmly with the local authority.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bassetlaw answering member printed Brendan Clarke-Smith question first answered 26/07/2022 14:03:20 answering member 4756 label Biography information for Brendan Clarke-Smith
