School Description by Ofsted
Information about the school
This is an average-sized secondary college. Almost all students are from a White
British background. The proportion of students known to be eligible for free school
meals is low. The proportion of students supported by school action plus or with a
statement of special educational needs is average. Students travel from a large
geographical area to the college.
The college converted to academy status in April 2011. It specialises in humanities
and applied learning. It meets the government's current floor standards, which set
the minimum expectations for students' attainment and progress. The college has
suffered signficant staffing turbulence for two years in English and mathematics,
which has now been resolved. The college holds the International Schools Award and
has Healthy Schools status.
The college is part of the Bottisham Education Partnership and a locality team is
based on site working with a range of local organisations in supporting the college's
work. At the time of inspection, public examinations were being held and, therefore,
no Year 11 lessons were observed.
