It appears the Council is stepping in to make sure Ravenstone raises its standards after it's disappointing OFSTED report last year. This is from the latest Council meeting:

"at the end of the summer term 2014, a review undertaken by the school, the Local Authority and a supporting school found that there had been limited progress since the 2013 inspection and that approximately one-third of the teaching continued to require improvement or to be inadequate.

The review judged that the strategic leadership of the school was not yet strong enough to ensure that progress against the key Ofsted recommendations was being achieved at the pace needed to move the school to good.

At the start of the autumn term, the headteacher approached the Council seeking retirement from the end of the term, since when the Council has worked to put in place the Executive Headteacher arrangements whereby an outstanding headteacher who has already
successfully performed a similar role in another Wandsworth school will lead the school’s improvement in anticipation of an Ofsted re-inspection next year."
