- Report said pupils at Middle Rasen Primary School in Lincolnshire lacked 'first-hand experience' of modern British society
- Said pupils should interact with 'counterparts from different backgrounds'
- But parents criticised 'bizarre' decision because small town is 97% white
- 'Very few' at the 104-pupil school are from ethnic groups, report says
- Headteacher believes comments are reaction to so-called Trojan Horse plot
Ofsted refused it an ‘outstanding’ rating and graded it ‘good’ instead.
It said the school was failing to do enough to ensure pupils understand the ‘cultural diversity of modern British society’ and experience ‘first-hand interaction with counterparts from different backgrounds’.
But parents complained Middle Rasen Primary in Market Rasen was being punished for factors outside its control and had effectively been told it was ‘too English’.
