The Archbishop Lanfranc School

As you know, Ofsted is the body which inspects schools.  It now invites parents to submit their views about their child’s school through an on-line questionnaire called “Parent View”.

You can access the questionnaire using the “Quick Link” to “Parent View” on our home page.

Your views are important to Ofsted and also to us.  In the article on our website (follow the link below) you can see the opinions expressed by some of our parents at a recent Parents’ Voice meeting.

Please take the time to complete the “Parent View” questionnaire.  Your contribution will of course be anonymous.

You may be aware that the national school performance tables were published on Thursday 26 January.  These tables provide information based on the results achieved in the examinations taken in summer 2011.

This year the Department for Education (DfE) claims to have published 400% more data about secondary schools than previously.  Of particular interest are the data relating to the “English Baccalaureate” (EBacc).  To achieve the EBacc requires A*-C grades at GCSE level (not “equivalent examinations such as BTec) in English, maths, a language, history or geography, and two sciences.
