Ofsted has rated Christ The King College 'requires improvement', which is an improvement from a previous rating of 'inadequate'.
The inspectors agreed with the school’s self-evaluation that although many aspects of the curriculum have improved significantly with the result that most pupils achieve well, there are subjects in which the curriculum is in an earlier stage of development.
Inspectors noted that the strength of practice evident in many subjects enables students in the Sixth Form to achieve well, and the school is pleased that this is recognised in the judgement made by Ofsted.
The report notes that ‘leaders are increasingly ambitious for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), disadvantaged pupils and the ablest pupils.'
The site was visited in July and the report also noted that:
‘Senior leaders have successfully raised expectations across the school. In addition to improving the security and safety of the school, they have brought about significant improvements to behaviour and enhanced the quality of education.
A breakdown of the report is as follows:
The quality of education: Requires improvement
Behaviour and attitudes: Good
Personal development: Requires improvement
Leadership and management: Good
Sixth-form provision: Good
The headteacher Mr McDermott said:
‘I am exceptionally proud of the staff, students and wider community of Christ the King College that have enabled such significant improvements to be made as well as nurturing, supporting and educating our young people throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We are looking forward very much to the next stages of our improvement journey.’
