Staff,
students and governors at Anthony
Gell School
are celebrating the outcome of their recent Ofsted inspection which took place
on 11th and 12th March 2009.
Four
inspectors visited the school, led by David Simpson HMI who has led a number of
inspections around the County. The team
observed many lessons, held meetings with groups of staff, students and
Governors and interviewed members of the school’s Senior Leadership Team. They also examined lots of evidence including
detailed analysis of recent exam results, our curriculum, the systems in place
to protect and support students and the effect our Sports College Status has
had on the whole school.
Their
conclusion was that Anthony Gell is a good and improving school. They were awarded a grade of
‘Good’ in most categories and ‘Outstanding’ in all the others. This shows strong progress from the already
good position at the time of the last report in March 2006. The school is particularly pleased that the
inspectors said that it was rightly ambitious to be an outstanding school by
the time of the next inspection.
Headteacher,
David Baker, said he was absolutely delighted with the Ofsted report. “I think the report sums up the school
perfectly,” he said. “The inspectors
really understood how Anthony Gell works and saw all that it provides for its
students and the wider community. I am
really pleased that all the hard work put in by staff, students and governors
over the past three years has been recognised.
I would like to thank everyone who has put in so much effort to support the school and to drive it
forward.”
The
inspection came in the same week that David gained his long service award for
working for Derbyshire County Council for 25 years. He joined Anthony Gell
School’s maths department
aged 21 in 1983 and has worked here ever since.
He was appointed Headteacher in January 2006. David said “I am immensely
proud of all the staff and students at the school and see it as a real honour
to be the Head of the school. I am
confident we can improve still further in the next few years.”
