Causeway School

School Description by Ofsted

Information about this school

The Causeway School is a smaller than average non-selective mixed secondary school for pupils aged 11 to 16. It opened in 1998 and shares a site with Hazel Court School, a special school catering for pupils who have a range of special educational needs and/or disabilities. The two schools are led and managed independently of each other.

The school has a broadly equal percentage of boys and girls on roll. The proportion of pupils who are eligible for free school meals is higher than the national average. A low percentage of the pupils are from minority ethnic groups, and only a very small proportion of pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is below the national average.

The percentage of pupils who have a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan is higher than is typical nationally.

The current headteacher arrived at the school shortly after the previous inspection in December 2012.
