Publication of Our Ofsted Report!
I am very pleased to be able to announce the outcome of our
latest Ofsted Inspection, having achieved an overall effectiveness grading of ‘Good’ set
against a much more rigorous process than experienced in previous years.
The report will be available on the Ofsted website from the middle of the coming week.
The report reflects the
excellent work taking place in all the areas of the school and recognises the developments
in the key area of Teaching and Learning. There are a significant number of very
pleasing comments, which reinforce our direction of travel and energise the
leadership of the school to take the necessary steps to outstanding, whilst
sustaining the improvements already in place.
As you can see the inspection team recognised the quality and
enthusiasm of our students and were impressed with their behaviour, maturity
and progress.
The inspection could have created a high pressure situation
within the school but everyone carried on throughout the two days, completing
their work in the normal way and are to be congratulated on contributing to a
great outcome.
This report combined with the government data stating that
we have a value added score of 1017 and
the announcement that we will be working with three other secondary schools in
the near future, is excellent news for parents, students and staff. As mentioned in a previous letter information
regarding our performance is available to the public via the DfE performance
tables which were released in January 2015.
Thank you to all the parents who completed the survey,
results of which can be seen online by searching for ‘Ofsted Parentview’ and
for your continued support.
