Recently the school had a visit from a Council Quality Improvement Team they were looking at aspects of the school's work and commenting on our own self-evaluation.
They have produced a very positive interim report for us and I'd like to highlight some of the strengths of the school they commented on.
Some strengths of the school
Commitment of staff to the young people within the school
Mutual respect shown by staff to young people and vice versa
Positive ethos which is underpinned by very good staff/young people relationships
Positive environment for learning, attractive and relevant displays in classrooms, well organised teaching materials
Willingness and ability of staff to engage with new developments in learning and teaching
Wide range of approaches to teaching being consistently displayed in classes
Very good use of ICT to enrich and support teaching
Well paced lessons
Inclusiveness and support for a wide range of pupils
Expectations of staff
Focus on social targets as well as academic targets
Consistent quality of good/very good Teaching and learning
Young people who demonstrate that they are confident and successful learners and who are committed to the school and its community.
Young people who are confident that their views would be acted upon.
Opportunities for young people to develop leadership skills.
The faculty structure was also praised for its effectiveness and for placing the school well for future curriculum development.
Very well done to all - it was commented that the teaching in IHS is the best and most consistent they have seen in any secondary school.
