Bourne Education Trust is delighted to announce that Teddington School has been officially deemed a ‘Good’ school following its recent inspection by Ofsted.

Having joined the Trust in December 2019, following a disappointing Ofsted inspection in January 2018 and receiving a Financial Notice to Improve, the school has been on a remarkable journey of rapid improvement, whilst facing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, to now be rated ‘Good’ across all areas. 

Following their visit, inspectors commended teachers, students, and the school's leadership, noting the ’high expectations’ of staff throughout the school and the ‘supportive and inclusive classroom environment’ where ‘pupils enjoy their lessons, feel happy and are safe’.

Inspectors also commented on the excellent practices within curriculum planning, careers and SEND and noted the support received, finding the school to be a 'calm and orderly' place where students are ‘respectful towards one another and value the positive relationships that they have with staff’.

Trust CEO, Alex Russell said: ‘This is a huge achievement for the team at Teddington School. They have worked tirelessly to ensure that their students receive a first-class education. This judgement sits alongside the school’s excellent academic result and strong financial position. The school and all its staff should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved and we look forward to working with them on the next steps of their journey.’

Kathy Pacey, Headteacher, said: ‘It is very rewarding for both the school and the community that the hard work to make Teddington a ‘Good’ school has been recognised. It has been an incredible 4 years and I am particularly proud of the students and the staff for everything they have achieved. I would also like to extend thanks to all our families and the Bourne Education Trust for the support they have given us on our transformative journey. ’
