Ofsted Inspection 2008
The most recent OFSTED Report, (April 2008), was very complimentary about the school. It stated that “The Corbet is an outstanding school. Pupils really enjoy school because they achieve exceptionally well and they feel that staff support them magnificently. In Key Stage 3, pupils consistently make excellent progress, amongst the best in the country, to gain exceptionally high test results. Pupils attained exceedingly high standards at Key Stage 4. This shows excellent achievement whilst the pupils are at school. Results in Science, English and Mathematics were particularly good. Last year very nearly all pupils gained suitable qualifications because the school’s strong support ensured any who were in danger of gaining very few or no passes were able to complete their studies. Pupils with learning difficulties also made good progress. This shows the school’s strong emphasis on inclusion. Pupils feel very safe in school because of the excellent pastoral support. They say they like the clear guidelines for behaviour so that they know exactly what is expected. Incidents of poor behaviour are almost non-existent and behaviour around the school and in lessons is of the highest standard. Achievement is so high because pupils enjoy a variety of very good lessons that challenge them to make excellent progress. Relationships between staff and pupils are very good because they respect each other and pupils feel they are treated like responsible adults, which in turn makes them more responsible. The leadership and management of the school are excellent and work well at all levels to ensure the school is constantly improving. The school is not complacent and is always looking at how to get better. This demonstrates its excellent capacity to improve further.
