Given the uneven impact of the pandemic on school performance data, the government has said you should not make direct comparisons between performance data for one school and another, or to data from previous years.

Ofsted Report

Full Inspection March 2025.

A NOTE FROM THE CEO... 

I am delighted to share with you the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection. The school has now been judged Good in all areas, apart from Quality of Education, which remains Requires Improvement. This judgement reflects the historic outcomes in the secondary phase, and as a leadership team, we were open with Ofsted that we believed this area still required further development.

However, we are confident that the progress we are making will quickly address these historical weaknesses. The Primary phase continues to be a real strength of the school, with progress well above national averages for many years. In the Secondary phase, behaviour, attendance, and the overall culture have improved significantly, thanks to the impact of the restructured leadership team.

It is with real confidence that I can now confirm the future leadership of BSCA will continue under Mr Mallett and Mr Watson, operating as Joint Headteachers. They are both committed, passionate leaders, and the school is in very strong hands moving forward.

Most importantly, I want to say how incredibly proud we are of your children. They continue to rise to the high expectations we set and are a credit to you and our community. We are privileged to serve a community that is fiercely loyal and proud, and your support means everything to us.

Tuesday Humby, CEO
