In a surprise Ofsted inspection last year, King Edward VII in Sheffield (left) was rated 'Inadequate' and told by the Department of Education that it must join a multi-academy trust. Hundreds of parents led a six-month campaign and arranged a rally, petition, and celebrity support, with some of the school's opposition to the institution's status as an academy. In May, Ofsted inspected the school again, and the study, which was released nine days earlier, found the school to be 'Good' in all areas.

'It is with immense joy and pride that I write to inform you that the academy order that was issued to King Edward VII School has been suspended,' wrote headteacher Linda Gooden.' Emily Maitlis (top-right) and Julia Bradbury (bottom-right), ex-Radio One controller Matthew Bannister, MPs, and Air Commodore Jon Chitty are among the school's graduates.
