"This is a school transformed." - Turves Green Boys' School Ofsted Report, April 2024
Pupils, parents, staff and trustees are celebrating the publication of our Ofsted report which has graded us Good with Outstanding Behaviour & Attitudes and Leadership & Management.
Ofsted observed that "pupils are rightfully proud of this unique school" and "staff enjoy their work and feel supported to grow professionally".
We were delighted that inspectors were able to capture in words the scale of the transformation that has taken place at our school less than three years since joining Matrix. It's fantastic that Ofsted saw what we see every day and recognised the work everyone has done to get to this point. This Ofsted outcome will support Turves in getting even better.
When Mr Till took on the school as headteacher in April 2021, the school had previously been Inadequate and placed in Special Measures. Fast forward almost three years and Ofsted not only judged the school to be Good overall but recognised the Outstanding Behaviour and Attitudes of pupils and the Outstanding Leadership and Management which has effected this transformation.
Inspectors were very impressed with the warm, supportive and inclusive culture of our school, citing "very strong relationships" between staff and pupils. Turves Green Boys' School's pupils "support each other very well" and "pupils know that any adult in the school will be able to help them".
Ofsted observed that trustees "are robust in their support and challenge" and that "those working for the trust support developments effectively and share the high-quality practice developed at the school more widely."
So much of what works so well at Turves has already been shared with other trust schools - and beyond.
Well done everyone.
