Ofsted and Exam Results

‘Good’ in every category!

I am pleased to share the official judgements from Ofsted after their recent inspection visit to Gosford Hill School. Within the new, more rigorous and stricter framework our school was judged as follows:

What Ofsted said:

• Gosford Hill is a good school
• Achievement is good
• Students’ rate of progress is rapidly improving
• The picture in the sixth form is an increasingly positive one
• Good behaviour in lessons and around the school is a strong feature of the school
• Student and teacher relationships are strong
• No inadequate teaching
• The majority of teaching is good and better
• Good behaviour in lessons enables teachers to deliver high quality lessons
• Safeguarding of students is robust and effective
• The curriculum is effective in meeting the needs of all students
• Many students participate in the wide range of after school activities

Ofsted have set us the next challenge: to be an outstanding school. We look forward to meeting this and will work tirelessly with parents, local community groups and students to ensure we reach this target by the next inspection. If we feel we are outstanding before then we will invite Ofsted in early.

Thank you to all the parents who contacted the inspection team to say how pleased you are about our school.

Well done to everyone for such a well-deserved outcome
