About Us
The Council is committed to providing a high quality, locally accountable education service, and offers a range of teaching opportunities in our schools. These offer a wealth of opportunity and challenges for teachers embarking on their careers, and those looking to develop their experience. Many schools are part of the extended schools and healthy schools programmes, and offer additional opportunities for professional development in those contexts. Schools are often invited to take part in national pilot studies.
Seven of our nine secondary schools have specialist schools status in one or more of the following areas: arts, humanities, languages, mathematics & computing, sports and technology.
The vast majority of city schools have been rated as good or better by Ofsted, and many achieve national awards. All Brighton & Hove schools have implemented the National Agreement on Raising Standards and Tackling Workloads, resulting in timetabled planning, preparation and assessment time (PPA) for all teachers. Our city is also in the forefront of implementing healthy schools and extended services in and around schools.
In the last round of Ofsted Inspections of (then) Local Education Authorities, Brighton & Hove was awarded the top, three star rating. We achieved the highest possible marks across a range of areas, including ICT, behaviour in schools, raising achievement by pupils from minority ethnic communities and our strategy for school improvement and overall effectiveness.
We are awaiting the formal outcome of our first inspection under the new “Joint Area Review” arrangements, but the initial feedback from the inspectors was very encouraging with particular reference to good school achievement, skilled and committed staff, very good involvement of young people in consultation and sporting, cultural and leisure opportunities.
