Hurworth Compare School Performance
Ofsted
We are pleased to share with you the outcome of our most recent Ofsted inspection.
Following their visit, Hurworth School was judged to be ‘Good’ in all areas under the inspection framework. This achievement is something of which we are extremely proud and is a testament to the dedication and commitment of our students, staff, parents, carers, Governors and Directors. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has played a part in making this possible.
The report contains significant positive information about our school, along with some areas, that we were already working on for development. We are particularly pleased that the report begins by stating that “Pupils feel safe and happy at Hurworth School.” Inspectors also recognised that “staff know pupils well” and that “strong relationships between staff and pupils are evident across the school.” These comments reinforces our vision at Hurworth to ensure that all of our students are supported to be the best versions of themselves and to achieve academic success which enables them to move onto their chosen pathways.
The report also praises school leaders for being “passionate about providing an education that prepares pupils well for life.” This recognition also reflects our vision of equipping young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to succeed in their chosen pathways and beyond.
I would like to thank our parents and carers for their continued support, our dedicated staff for the exceptional work they do every day, and our wonderful students for being such positive ambassadors for the school. Together, you make Hurworth School a fantastic community and a school of which we can all be proud.
