A school in Newquay has been put in special measures.

Last week a number of pupils at Treviglas College were put in detention because the school says they turned up for the first day of term in non regulation shoes. However the shoe row is not said to be linked to Ofsted's decision.

An inspection of the college at the end of June resulted in an overall rating of "inadequate" compared to its previous one of "outstanding".

The Ofsted report says teachers have low expectations of what pupils can achieve, there's a high level of absenteeism and feedback to students on how to improve their work is regularly ignored.

However, it does say the sixth form at Treviglas has improved as a result of stronger leadership.
