School Performance

School leadership (including governors) have evaluated the school as below: 

Quality of Education Behaviour & Attitudes Personal Development Leadership & Management 
Requires Improvement Good Good Good 

This suggests that the school has moved on from its 2018 Ofsted inspection where it stated that the school Requires Improvement. Behaviour and attitudes are now good. Leadership is now good, but with the lack of externally verified results in summer 2020, the school is unwilling to support the statement that the Quality of Education is yet good. Summer 2021 (despite students not sitting exams) will show that outcomes have improved to match the progress seen in school, and therefore the Quality of Education will be seen as good. 

However, we always look to improve and going into 2021/22, we are developing our existing School Improvement Action Plan. The focus is on the following priorities for the 2021/24 3-year period: 

  1. Further improve the impact of Teaching & Learning over time 
  2. Inclusion – Improve outcomes for SEND, PP, CP & LAC students 
  3. Ensure academic progress recovery from impact of COVID-19 
  4. Further improve student attitude to learning 
  5. Ensure social & cultural recovery from impact of Covid-19 
  6. Improve parental & community engagement 
  7. Develop leadership

BOOK

“My eldest son left school in 2007 so there was never any question of which school my youngest would attend in 2012. However, what a huge difference I’ve found in the school from then until now. The school is very well led with the Head being a major presence, the staff are very well respected, approachable and helpful at all levels. Examination results continue to improve which is fantastic. Pupil moral is great with reward schemes, extra-curricular activities and school excursions open to all.”

Parent of Year 8 Student

"Parents and carers are broadly supportive of the school and its new leadership. They feel that their children are well cared for and supported"

Ofsted Quote

“As parents, we are always impressed with the way in which Hetton School staff listen to comments or concerns, and act quickly and effectively, particularly when relating to pupil progress and wellbeing. There’s a good community feeling. Hetton School has good systems in place to support students’ individual attainment. It offers good opportunities outside of the school day for pupils to progress further. We’re well aware that standards and results at Hetton School have risen in recent years and continue to do so.”

Parent of Year 7 and 10 Student

"Pupils are proud of their school and its caring, tolerant ethos".

Ofsted Quote

“I am very pleased with the pastoral support. Hetton School value the opinion of students and this can only help to build self-confidence into adulthood.”

Parent of Year 10 Student

"The quality of leadership and teaching in the local authority resource provision for pupils who have speech and language difficulties enables pupils to make strong progress".

Ofsted Quote

“I have been very impressed with how well my daughter has settled into Hetton School. She has made some very good friends, gets on well with her form tutor, enjoys her lessons and has made good academic progress. The school keeps me up-to-date with how she is doing and acknowledges when she has done something of particular merit. The Parents Forum gives us a voice to bring up any issues that arise and for the school to ask our opinion also. I would definitely recommend Hetton School to any prospective pupil or parent, and with a new build coming, Hetton will finally have the building this good school deserves.”
