Scalby School ProspectusAN INVITATION TO JOIN ONE OF THE HIGHEST PERFORMING SCHOOLS IN THE COASTAL AREA

Scalby School is once again one of the most academically focussed learning environments for children in the east coast area. The number of students gaining 5A* - C with English and Mathematics this year was the highest for all the state schools in and around the Scarborough area, at 61%.


At the same time, the number of students gaining three or more A* or A passes put the school in the top 25% for like schools this year, and we celebrate the phenomenal achievement of one of our students who achieved 14 A* grades; the highest achieving student in the Scarborough area. The number of children gaining 5A* - C was 85%, which is 29% up on last year.


WHY GO TO SCALBY SCHOOL? WHAT ABOUT ITS FUTURE?

Scalby School would be my school of choice for my own children and I have absolutely no doubt that the school will continue in its upward trend. Why?

 

Harrogate High School went through a similar process. This year 99% of students gained 5 A*-C passes and its English and Maths 5A*-C improved by 14%, placing it in the top 25% of schools with a similar student intake. Harrogate High remains a member of the Outwood Grange family of schools.

 

Scalby School and the other 4 schools in the Outwood Grange family have increased the English and Maths achievements of pupils by over 60%. Outwood Grange are committed to ensuring that the hard work put in by staff, students and governors is sustainable and to that end we have invested heavily in staff development for all teaching and support staff.

 

Outwood Grange has been asked to assist in the recruitment and training of the new Headteacher at Scalby, with a lengthy hand-over period to ensure that the systems and processes now in place continue and the student attainment rises year-on-year. Scalby School, its staff, students and governors have an open invitation to remain members of the family of schools which gives it access to innovative teaching and learning practice, personal development for students, teacher exchange and leadership development.

 

In essence, when I said recently that Scalby is only just warming up, it is not said with any flippancy; but rather a deep recognition of the substantial and sweeping changes that have been made and will continue to deliver the highest standards in education. I have absolute confidence in the leadership team at Scalby and the Interim Executive Board and look forward to the next phase in developing one of the most outstanding schools in the region.

 

Yours sincerely,

 


Paul Tarn
Principal
