Ofsted and Performance
Following Ofsted's inspection of Outwood Grange Academy on Thu 09 Feb 2012, we were rated as Outstanding.
"Outwood Grange Academy provides an outstanding quality of education. The very large majority of parents and carers who returned an inspection questionnaire would recommend the academy to others."
"Students’ achievement is outstanding. When students enter the academy, their standards of attainment are above average. All groups of students make progress at a better than expected rate and attain very high standards by the end of Key Stage 4. "
"The sixth form is outstanding. Students of all abilities are admitted and all groups make rapid progress through courses well suited to their needs and aspirations. "
"The overwhelming majority of students are successful in going on to education, employment or training after they leave the academy. Students are very well prepared for this because work in a number of subjects, within the outstanding curriculum, helps them to achieve high standards in literacy, discussion, numeracy, and information and communication technology."
"Outstanding teaching is at the root of students’ excellent achievement. Teachers have very high expectations and, in the majority of lessons, they provide challenging, interesting activities which considerably extend students’ skills of learning independently."
"The excellent behaviour of the vast majority of students contributes to an outstanding climate for learning, and this makes a significant contribution to their high levels of achievement. "
"The drive for the academy’s success comes from the outstanding work of its leaders. They sustain, among almost all staff, a strong focus on achieving excellent outcomes for students through consistency in best practice. Underpinning this is the academy’s very systematic and effective approach to the professional development of leaders and teachers."
