Golborne High School in Wigan has celebrated attaining ‘Outstanding’ status following a recent visit from Ofsted.
After numerous inspections rated them as ‘Good’ since 2006, the senior leadership team, the education quality, personal development strategy and outstanding behaviour has tipped them into the inspector’s highest ranking bracket. This ‘journey to outstanding’ has been a collective effort according to the headteacher, who stated it has come from a ‘shared vision of excellence’.
Inspectors spoke to a number of pupils and highlighted how they had been helped through the coronavirus period by staff. They scored the Lowton Road school top marks in all departments.
