School has made significant progress says Ofsted

Les Voies School

A school that had been rated as inadequate, has made "significant improvements", inspectors have said.

Les Voies School received the lowest Ofsted rating in October 2022.

Following the latest monitoring inspection, Ofsted said "leaders have quickly developed and implemented an improvement plan focused on systematically tackling the areas judged ineffective at the previous inspection".

The school caters to students aged 9-16 who have social, mental, or emotional needs.

'High quality education'

Jon Furley, Headteacher at Les Voies School, said: "Following the recent monitoring report I want to recognise the continued hard work of the staff and the commitment to the students and their families.

"I am pleased that the extensive development of the curriculum has been recognised, along with our shared vision of trying to ensure our students get a high quality education."

Inspectors also identified areas where the school needed to make further improvements.

Deputy Andrea Dudley-Owen, President of the Committee for Education, Sport & Culture, said: "External inspections are an important part of education delivery as they help ensure a culture of continuous improvement is maintained.

"I know Jon and the whole Les Voies community were disappointed by their formal inspection report last year, but the response has been excellent and everyone involved should be proud of this monitoring report."
