School Description

Rydens Enterprise School and Sixth Form College is an average-sized 11–18 school. The school converted to an academy in February 2012 and subsequently entered into a memorandum of understanding with The Howard Partnership Trust (THPT) in April 2016. The serving principal retired in April 2016 at the same time as the two deputy principals left. The school has since been led by an executive headteacher and a headteacher provided by THPT. The school is in the process of being rebuilt. The large majority of pupils are from White British backgrounds, with smaller numbers of ‘any other White’ background and Bangladeshi heritage. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups and the proportion of those who speak English as an additional language is above average. The proportion of pupils supported by pupil premium funding is in line with the national average. This funding is for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and children looked after. Thirty-six pupils were eligible for the Year 7 catch-up funding for those who did not attain level 4 in either English or mathematics at the end of their primary schooling. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and disabilities is below average and the proportion of pupils with a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan is in line with the national average. A small number of pupils follow personalised part-time courses at Brooklands College and the North East Surrey Short Stay Schools at Hersham and Staines as well as the Alternative Learning Project. The school does not meet requirements on the publication of information about key stage 4 results and pupil premium funding on its website. In 2015, the school did not meet the government’s floor standard, which is the minimum expectation for attainment and progress. Inspection report: Rydens Enterprise School and Sixth Form College, 8–9 June 2016 6 of 8 Information about this inspection Inspectors undertook observations of pupils’ learning in 32 lessons or parts of lessons, including 24 joint observations with senior members of staff. They reviewed the work in pupils’ books covering English, mathematics and science, to check attainment, progress, assessment feedback and presentation. Meetings were held with the executive headteacher, headteacher, senior leaders and middle leaders. The lead inspector spoke with members of the governing body, members of The Howard Partnership Trust and a representative from the local authority. Inspectors held meetings with pupils from all year groups and spoke informally to pupils in lessons and at breaktimes. At the time of the inspection, Year 11 pupils and sixth form learners were on study leave so that it was not possible to observe lessons in these years, although opportunities were provided for inspectors to speak with a small number of Year 11 pupils and sixth form learners. Inspectors looked at the school’s website and a range of school documentation, including safeguarding records, development plans, action plans and governors’ minutes. They also looked at the school’s attendance, behaviour and exclusions information. Inspectors considered the views of 94 parents who responded to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, as well as further written comments provided by parents. They also considered 44 questionnaires completed by members of staff. There were no responses to the pupil questionnaire but inspectors saw feedback that had been collected previously by the school.
