An academy in Calverton that had its first Ofsted inspection since converting into an academy has been rated 'good' by inspectors. Colonel Frank Seely Academy converted from a comprehensive school in 2017, and currently has 752 students aged between 11-and-18-years-old on its roll.
The academy on Flatts Lane was previously rated 'good' in March 2013 when it was a comprehensive, and has carried on that rating since it has joined the Redhill Academy Trust. Inspectors visited the academy on May 17 and May 18, with a report into their findings recently published.
Four areas of a school are inspected, with an additional fifth area if the school has a sixth-form, which Colonel Frank Seely Academy does. These are 'quality of education', 'behaviour and attitudes', 'personal development', 'leadership and management' and 'sixth-form provision', all of which in this case were rated 'good', giving an overall 'good' rating.
