Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry deemed inadequate by Ofsted

Albus Dumbledore, head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry has promised to "rapidly improve" the school after a disappointing inspection report.

Ofsted released its report into the magical school over the weekend, rating it as 'inadequate.'

It comes just four years after the school was deemed 'good' by inspectors.

But Ofsted said health and safety was "basically non-existant" since the last inspection.

Although behaviour and safety at the school is described as "good," with pupils described as "welcoming and polite," inspectors flagged up a number of concerns including a lack of fire extinguishers, pupils flying around dangerously on brooms and even a giant snake living in the school's plumbing system that instantly kills anyone who looks at it directly in the eyes, all of which break numerous EU safety directives.

Inspectors visited the school early last month, and their report says: "Over the past two years health and safety laws not being observed have resulted in a number of risks for too many pupils.

An Ofsted spokesman told us: "There wasn't a single fire extinguisher in sight, pupils were even flying around on broomsticks without any regard for their own or others safety. There's even reports of a snake that kills people and giant killer trolls have been known to wander the school's grounds."

"The impact of health and safety has been inadequate because it has not ensured pupils are safe at school."

Although the school's leadership and management has been identified as "requiring improvement" the report says: "Senior leaders recognise they have not acted quickly enough to improve the health and safety,"

The report continues that as a result of the findings the local council has placed the school into a "category of concern."
