Baxter College is an average-sized secondary school. Baxter College converted to become an academy on 1 September 2012. When its predecessor school, Baxter College, was last inspected by Ofsted, it was judged to be a good school. The majority of students attending the academy are White British. The proportion of disabled students and those with special educational needs is well above the national average. An above average proportion of students are supported by the pupil premium (additional government funding for students known to be eligible for free meals and those who are looked after). There are currently 17 students who attend courses away from the academy at Continu Plus Academy, The Bridge, Archway Academy and medical Education Team. The academy has 141 students in the sixth form; some provision is shared with Wolverley Church of England Secondary School. The academy does not meet the government’s current floor standards. These are the minimum standards expected for pupils’ learning and progress in reading, writing and mathematics.
