EXAM RESULTS: 2019

The improvements we have made in a short space of time have resulted in a much stronger set of GCSE results than those we inherited in 2017. We are confident that the changes we continue to make to our culture, curriculum and teaching will lead to further improvements in the future.

In our Ofsted inspection in May 2018 we were judged to be “Good” in relation to our Leadership & Management, our Sixth Form, and the Personal Development, Behaviour & Welfare of our students. Our Outcomes were judged to Require Improvement because the impact of the changes we had put in place had not yet been realised. Since then, our 2018 and 2019 outcomes have shown significant improvement, and most are above or well above national averages. A Level progress was higher than any school or college in County Durham in 2018. The Ofsted monitoring visit we received in July 2019 confirmed the improvements we have made, and we are confident that our next inspection will be judged Good.
