The Ferrers School has been rated Good in its first full Ofsted inspection since joining CMAT. The school has gone from strength to strength since its last inspection in 2018 when it was rated as Inadequate.
Following an inspection which took place in July, The Ferrers School has been rated Good in all five key areas. The school’s Post 16 provision was also rated Good.
Angela Smith, Principal of The Ferrers School, said: “We are thrilled with the findings of our recent Ofsted inspection. To have made such strong progress over the last two years, despite the challenges of Covid-19, is testament to each and every one of our staff and students in school who have worked incredibly hard.
“I am so proud of the rapid transformation that has taken place within school, and that the high standards and opportunities we provide have been recognised. Looking ahead, we will continue to deliver a high-quality educational experience and put learning and individual achievement at the centre of everything we do.”
Chris Stevens, Her Majesty’s Inspector, stated in the report: “The curriculum for personal development is strong across all key stages. Pupils value the wide range of extra-curricular opportunities on offer during the school’s 6th session. These opportunities include sports and expressive arts clubs for example.”
Mark Woods, CEO of CMAT, said: “We are delighted with the results of the inspection at The Ferrers School. The school’s success is a real representation of our commitment to providing a high-quality education for everyone, at the heart of local communities. We are so pleased to have been a part of the school’s journey and excited to see what we can continue to achieve together in the future.”
