Alongside this there are wonderful individual stories of student achievement including numerous students gaining the very top grades with 9s in numerous subjects.
As Headteacher, I am incredibly proud of the school, the staff, our community and most importantly the students who have all worked exceptionally hard and shown great resilience to achieve these wonderful results. This is certainly a day for celebration.

Monitoring and Evaluation
The provision will be quality assured using a variety of methods to ensure the school maintains a high-quality provision to all students. Evaluation will be both informal and formal through evaluation forms, observations, feedback sessions from students, employers and/or parents/carers. This will allow the team to develop and improve where necessary future provision.
Working with Norfolk County Council, the school will also utilise local destination data to assess the success in supporting students to take up education and/or training, whilst looking at their ability and choice post 16 options.
In line with the Governments Careers Strategy (2017), the school is actively involved with the Careers and Enterprise Companies (CEC) and has an Enterprise Adviser who works closely with the school to provide feedback on the quality of the careers provision provided. The Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC) online tool, Compass Evaluation, is used to assess how the school is meeting Gatsby benchmarks. This is carried out twice a year with support and input from the school’s Enterprise Coordinator.
