Newport school making progress after ‘requires improvement’ Ofsted rating
A Newport school judged as ‘requiring improvement’ during its last Ofsted inspection has been found to be taking effective action to improve the quality of education.
Burton Borough School was said to require improvement during its last inspection 18 months ago and was the subject of a monitoring visit which took place in April.
Inspector Alex Laney said that since the last inspection there had been a restructure of the school’s leadership which has seen greater significance placed on the quality of the provision for pupils with special educational needs and disability (SEND).
“You have identified the important levers for success in each aspect of your work and are tackling these in the right order,” concluded Mr Laney in his findings.
“This work, and in particular the work you have done to improve the detail of curriculum plans and the provision for pupils with SEND, is beginning to address some of the shortcomings identified at the previous inspection.
