Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Egerton High School excels at supporting vulnerable pupils who have experienced disrupted education. The school creates a calm, inclusive environment where staff know pupils well and provide targeted emotional support to help them manage anxieties and engage with learning. Pupils benefit from a rich range of trips, visits and activities that build their confidence and help them see opportunities beyond school.

Key Strengths

  • Strong focus on inclusion with all pupils having access to the same curriculum with appropriate adaptations
  • Staff know pupils well and provide consistent emotional support, helping them feel safe and secure
  • Teaching breaks learning into small steps with clear explanations and reassurance for pupils who find learning difficult
  • Pupils experience trips, visits and enrichment activities that build confidence and independence
  • Calm and orderly behavior environment with staff responding quickly to support pupils

Areas for Improvement

  • Significant attendance gaps affect many pupils' progress and limit how they can benefit from education and support
  • Leaders lack clear oversight of attendance patterns and impact of improvement actions across different pupil groups
  • Leadership and governance do not consistently evaluate school work or identify patterns to judge if actions are making enough difference
  • Governors have not embedded accountability systems strongly enough to ensure sustained improvement
  • Some pupils miss large amounts of learning which slows progress and limits skill development

Safeguarding

Safeguarding standards are met. Leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed, resulting in pupils feeling safe.

Extracurricular Activities

trips to art galleries, museums, sporting venues, theatre trips, careers fairs, employer visits, community-based activities
