This is an outstanding school. Students thrive during their time in South Hunsley.
Not only do they achieve highly, they develop into confident, mature and thoughtful young people. Students are very well prepared for their future lives. Leaders' relentless focus on improving the sixth form has paid dividends and the sixth form is also outstanding.
The executive principal, senior leaders and governors are rigorous in checking the quality of teaching and only the best is good enough. Strident action is taken when teaching falls short of their high expectations. Teaching is strong, including in the sixth form and contributes to the usually very good progress stud...ents make from their individual starting points in Year 7.
This includes the small proportion of disabled students and those with special educational needs. Very occasionally, progress of the most-able and lower-ability students slows in class. This happens when teachers' activities are not matched well enough to students' levels of ability or when marking does not help students know what they need to do next.
Skilfully targeted additional activities and support for students at risk of falling behind make sure they catch up to their peers well. Careful use of pupil premium funding has helped to narrow the previous gap between the progress of students entitled to free school meals and others successfully. Students are proud of their school and are great ambassadors for it.
Their behaviour is exemplary, in lessons, social times and as they move around the sprawling school site. High quality relationships between adults and students contribute to the calm and purposeful atmosphere in lessons. Students' consideration of, and support for each other are first rate.
Discussions with students, inspection evidence and high quality displays across the school pay testament to students' exceptionally good spiritual, moral and social development. Insightful leadership, including from governors and meticulous evaluation of the school's work makes sure that no stone is left unturned in their successful quest to ensure students in South Hunsley achieve their potential both academically and personally.
Information about this school
South Hunsley converted to be an academy in April 2011.
When its predecessor school was last inspected by Ofsted it was judged to be good. The school is more than twice the size of the average secondary school and numbers have risen over the past two years. Around 400 students attend the sixth form which is above average.
Most students in the sixth form choose to study academic AS and A-level courses. The remainder undertake a range of vocational courses. Virtually all students are of White British heritage.
A much lower than average proportion of students is known to be eligible for the pupil premium (The pupil premium is additional funding for those students who are known to be eligible for free school meals, children from service families and those children that are looked after). A very small number of students have been identified as requiring extra help through school action because of their disability or special educational needs. The number of such students receiving extra help at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is similarly very small.
The proportions of both groups are significantly below average. The school does not have any alternative education provision for students off site. A small number of Year 10 and Year 11 students attend vocational courses at two local further education colleges, Bishop Burton and Hull College.
South Hunsley is a National Support School and the executive principal is National Leader in Education (NLE). The principal, together with some of her senior staff have worked successfully with secondary and primary schools locally and regionally to support their improvement. The school exceeds the government's current floor standards that set out the minimum expectations for students' attainment and progress.
