A girls’ school is celebrating top marks across the board after inspectors rated it ‘outstanding’ in every category.
Rosebery School received the glowing report from Ofsted after inspectors visited the school in White Horse Drive, Epsom last month.
Inspectors were impressed with the school leaders’ passion, students’ results, behaviour and attitudes to learning and governors’ sharp and accurate view of the school’s strengths and weaknesses.
Ofsted rated the school ‘outstanding’ for its leadership and management, teaching, learning and assessment, personal development, behaviour and welfare, outcomes for pupils, and its study programmes for 16 to 19 year olds.
Head teacher Ros Allen, said: “Every member of the school community can be very proud of this outstanding achievement.
“I am delighted that the exceptional behaviour and character of our students have been recognised – they are a privilege to work with.
“I am also thrilled that the report highlights our inspirational staff whose high expectations ensure our students achieve at the highest level academically, whatever their starting point, and a staff who share a moral purpose to provide a holistic and nurturing education which ensures our students become compassionate, happy and ambitious young women, able to contribute significantly to their local and wider community.”
The school had last been inspected in January 2013, and was rated ‘good’.
