Message from Mr Browning - Headteacher 23rd June 2023
Following our recent Ofsted inspection, I am very pleased to report that Sir John Thursby continues to be a good school.
I am delighted to say that we are Good in all areas and that the report highlights that our pupils 'enjoy attending this thriving and popular school' and that they 'feel a strong sense of belonging to the school community.'
It identifies that our students 'achieve well' and that 'almost all pupils successfully move on to apprenticeships, A levels or other forms of education, employment or training'
The report also states that we have ‘high expectations of pupils’ behaviour' and that 'staff know pupils very well'
The report praises our ambitious curriculum which enables all our students to learn all that they should. It also talks about how our young people 'progress well because they have the essential knowledge that they need for the next topic'.
Inspectors also praised our SEND provision, our reading programme, our careers advice and guidance, our Governors, and our safeguarding.
We are all very proud of this report and it reflects everyone’s hard work which has helped to make this a very special school for our students, their families, and our staff.
