Extract from the Ofsted report 2009

 

Overall, teaching and learning are satisfactory. Many lessons are good with some very engaging

teaching and challenging work. However, the school is aware of some teaching that falls short

of the good standards expected. The management is working effectively in improving the

overall quality and has ensured that staff are supported when needs have been identified. The

very great improvement to the standards of behaviour within the school means that students

behave well in lessons and are very receptive when lessons engage and excite their interests.

In a small minority of lessons, students do not always know what they are expected to learn,

the work is not well matched to their abilities or suitably challenging, and assessments are not

used effectively to identify and inform students what they need to do next.

The school makes very good use of its specialist performing arts status. Students have been

motivated to attend school by being involved in productions. The specialism also impacts

positively upon the good curriculum and offering good support to local primary schools and

also local community groups. Students show positive attitudes to work and make very positive

contributions to the life of the school. The introduction of banding arrangements and the

change in the role of pastoral leaders to one centred on academic guidance have contributed

to students making better progress. The identification of students who are underachieving has

improved this year so that it is not just targeted around those who are not secure at gaining a

GCSE grade C and is starting to identify students who are working below their expected level.

May 5: Some more input on the Change of Calendar idea. By the way the Board passed the oomitn to consult with parents and staff on this idea and I will keep you posted on this opportunity as it arises. In the interim here are some more comments.From J M-EI am strongly opposed to having a break in November and coming back earlier in the summer. There are already many three or four day breaks in the schedule as schools use their PD days in combination with weekends. In fact November often has
