On the 2 and 3 April Groby Community College opened its doors to 4 Senior Leaders from other local schools and a trained lead Ofsted inspector in order to review progress that we are making in our journey towards outstanding.
The inspection team observed 53 lessons, spoke to students and interviewed staff across the two days about the work of the college. The outcome of the inspection is overwhelmingly positive about the work of the college and the direction we are moving.
The team judged ACHIEVEMENT as good with particular mention of the excellent outcomes at Post 16.
QUALITY OF TEACHING was deemed to be good with outstanding features. Over 90% of the 53 lessons were deemed to be good or better with over 40% outstanding.
BEHAVIOUR AND SAFETY is also good with outstanding features. The inspection team commented on the outstanding attitudes to learning of the vast majority of students. In the best lessons there is a real thirst for knowledge amongst the students. Students told the team that bullying is extremely rare and where it does occur it has originated outside of college but is dealt with swiftly by the team.
LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT is also very good. Senior and middle leaders have a clear vision for, and capacity to bring about, continued improvement. Teachers are supported in their professional development in order to become outstanding practitioners.
They identified areas for development include:
- Support disadvantaged students to make better progress through targeted teaching and learning and improved attendance.
- Increase collaboration between Groby and Brookvale in order to support students in the development of their mathematics at Key Stage 4
- Encourage students to use the detailed feedback in their books to improve their work.
