How are the named and shamed schools doing now?

Article Abstract:

The UK government identified 101 schools in Nov 2000 as facing closure unless their examination results improved, with at least 15% of pupils achieving a minimum of five GCSE passes at grades A-C. In summer 2001, at least 38 of these schools have still failed to reach this target, with at least four having closed and several more being relaunched under new names. Head teachers feel that these targets do not take account of the challenges their schools face.
