Ofsted Inspection of the Reach Free School, October 2024
The Reach Free School was inspected by Ofsted in October 2024. It gives me great pleasure to share with you the final version of the report. I am proud of the outcome that we have achieved, as it is testament to all of the hard work and efforts of everyone involved with the school.
The Reach Free School continues to be a great school, and I have summarised some of my highlights from the report, which capture the school’s Achievement, Community and Enjoyment ethos:
“Pupils are happy as part of The Reach Free School community. Teachers have high expectations for their behaviour and learning.”
“Pupils value the fact that there are plenty of adults who will listen to them.”
“Pupils, including sixth form students, access a broad range of subjects that challenge them academically. They typically achieve well.”
“The school has developed a well-constructed, broad and ambitious academic curriculum.”
“Pupils’ experiences at this school are exceptional.”
“Sixth form students are excellent role models for others.”
“High-quality careers advice and guidance runs through the school’s work.”
“Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. They clearly understand the expectations and conduct themselves responsibly.”
“They treat each other and staff with respect” and “excellent behaviour is the norm.”
Richard Booth, Headteacher
