Students and staff are celebrating this win. The report highlights the school’s strong commitment to helping students succeed. It’s all about preparing them for life after school.
Granville Academy scored well in all areas, including education quality and student behavior. They offer a rich curriculum and plenty of activities outside the classroom, like trips to France and Kenya.
There are loads of clubs for students to explore their interests. They can learn instruments, join performances, and even take on leadership roles, like being a well-being ambassador.
Executive principal Michelle Oliphant is proud of the changes. She says the hard work has led to great academic results and a culture of high standards.
She believes this report shows the dedication of the whole school community. Everyone is working hard to help students reach their potential.
What’s working well? Staff have high expectations, and students feel safe and happy. The school has improved its curriculum, and teachers are well-trained.
Ofsted also praised the school’s careers education, noting more students are moving on to suitable education and training after graduation.
To keep improving, the school needs to ensure the ambitious curriculum is delivered consistently. They also want to boost attendance and behavior so all students can benefit from the quality education offered.
Kathy Hardy, chief executive at Affinity Learning Partnership, is excited about the future. She believes the whole community should be proud of this achievement and can’t wait to see what’s next.
