A Bristol secondary school has been praised for its values and curriculum after overturning its inadequate Ofsted. Winterbourne Academy on the High Street in South Gloucestershire has had its first inspection since it replaced the Ridings Federation Winterbourne International Academy four years ago.
Inspectors attended the academy for a two-day visit earlier this year on May 10 and 11, five years after the predecessor school received an inadequate rating. It has been rated good overall for the first time in ten years while scoring a good rating in each category, including the quality of education, behaviour and attitude, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision.
The report released in July paints a positive picture of the school, now run by Olympus Academies Trust and with Jason Beardmore as headteacher, whereby its ‘PRIDE’ values of participation, respect, integrity, determination and enthusiasm "help pupils to develop their character".
