Key findings

Catmose College is an outstanding school led by an inspirational and visionary Principal, with strong and effective leadership and management at all levels, including the governing body.

This is a highly successful school that is relentless in its quest to improve further. The very strong ambition of its leaders is shared so that all staff who responded to the survey said they are proud to be a member of the college and they know what it is trying to achieve. Achievement has risen steadily so that results at the end of Key Stage 4 are well above average.

Teaching is outstanding. Almost all lessons are good with just under half outstanding. Teachers consistently expect all students to be challe...nged and give their best.

Because of excellent relationships, students show confidence in responding to this challenge. Lessons are well paced, relevant and enjoyable, providing many opportunities for extending the learning. Staff use modern technologies well to support their teaching and students also have good opportunities to use these in lessons.

Learning is also aided by the students' outstanding behaviour and the maturity students show in terms of staying safe and helping one another in their work. The college values all individuals and nurtures their unique talents. As a result, students develop into mature and thoughtful citizens, able to cope effectively with challenges.

Provision for students in the specialist provision is highly effective in supporting students' progress through a fully inclusive and integrated approach to its work. Provision and outcomes for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are good. These lay secure foundations for their personal development.

Intelligent management systems, a track record of improvement and relentless belief in the potential of every individual mean that the college has outstanding capacity to improve. The college's commitment to inclusion is therefore strong, and all aspects of the college's work are subject to rigorous, ongoing evaluation, so that the college's motto, 'equal value, outstanding progress,' is a reality here.
