Maidenhead & Windsor

Altwood Church of England School, Maidenhead has just undergone OFSTED inspection and we are delighted to share the extremely positive outcome of this inspection.

‘Outstanding' was the word used by inspectors to describe a number of key features of the school and its work such as:

* the Headteacher's leadership

* the curriculum offer

* the care, guidance and support available for students

* the effectiveness of the school's self-evaluation

* the progress made by students who find their work more challenging

* the monitoring, evaluation and improvement of the school's performance to meet challenging targets.

All other areas of the Maidenhead school's work was judged to be a least ‘good', with the overall judgement of the inspectors being that:

"Altwood is a ‘good' school with some very strong features.
It is on track to become an ‘outstanding' school"

Clearly all members of the Maidenhead school community are delighted by this acknowledgement of the high quality of educational experience on offer at Altwood. This OFSTED endorsement is also great affirmation of the progress and achievement that has been taking place within the school community.

Our Mission as a school is to be a high achieving learning community where all feel valued and secure and all are enabled to fully develop progress and attain. We believe we realise those goals day-on-day and are extremely pleased that HMI and OFSTED agree with us.

There is very much to celebrate here at Altwood and we look forward to going from strength to strength in all aspects of our work for the benefit of our young people. The young people of Altwood can be assured of the highest standards and the best opportunities to thrive and achieve.
