Ofsted Report

The Inspectors agreed with our judgements that this is a good school with good teaching, a good curriculum and good leadership. We were delighted with the comments about our students, in particular their good behaviour and their enjoyment of school. You will see that the report also praises students’ charity work and the active part they take in school life. I know that during the inspection itself their pride in the school was obvious to all.

The Gilberd School is a good school but we are determined to improve and we welcome the priorities for development identified in the report.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your part in the inspection; the inspectors said the returns on parental questionnaires were much higher than normal and we always appreciate the help and support of our parents.

We look forward to continuing to work with you to make our school the best that it can be.
