Ofsted ReportBentley Wood was inspected by Ofsted on 14th and 15th November 2023. This was the school’s first inspection since we were graded as Outstanding in May 2012. I am delighted to inform you that we have been graded as Outstanding once again.
The opening line of this written report truly encapsulates what is it like to attend Bentley Wood High School. The Inspectors wrote:
‘Pupils develop into confident and caring young people at this school. The school sets high expectations for both behaviour and achievement. Pupils demonstrate exceptional behaviour and focus well in the classroom. They are respectful towards each other and their teachers, and understand the importance of positive attitudes. This is underpinned by the school’s values of CARE: communication, achievement, respect and empathy, which are embraced by the school community’
There has been a lot of hard work to maintain this ‘outstanding’ judgement, and we are so happy that the dedication of our staff, the support of our parents and the commitment and encouragement of our governors has been recognised. Here is the link to the report published on the Ofsted website.
