Angley staff and pupils 'delighted' at latest OfSTED rating

Staff and pupils at Angley are celebrating after OfSTED judged that standards have significantly improved over 2011 - and the school now no longer requires a Notice to Improve.

The report highlights the improvements that have been made:

"Improving achievement is explained by better quality teaching. The large majority of students are keen to learn and say their opportunities to do so have improved this year because of the better teaching."

Students' behaviour continues to be recognised as good, and care guidance and support of students is seen as a strength of the school.

Standards are set to rise further still in the coming year. 

It is for this reason that Governors have agreed to a proposal that Hayesbrook School; a National Support School and National Teaching School, should sponsor Angley to become an academy.

Martin Garner, Angley's Chair of Governors commented: "Currently, this is just a proposal and there will be a full consultation process in due course. However, gaining academy status should spearhead a new phase in Angley's development and secure high-quality education provision for current and future generations of pupils."
