School Description

 Oakbank School is much larger than the average-sized secondary school.  The proportion of students known to be eligible for the pupil premium, at almost two fifths of all students, is higher than average. The pupil premium is additional government funding for students in the care of the local authority and students known to be eligible for free school meals.  The large majority of students are of White British heritage, with smaller proportions of students from Pakistani and Bangladeshi backgrounds.  The very large majority of students speak English as their first language.  The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs, at around one fifth of all students, is around average.  In 2014 the school did not met the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics.  In February 2014 the school opened its own achievement centre on the school site, which provides separate small-group support and teaching for a small number of students who may be in danger of underachievement.  Two students from Year 11 attend full-time alternative provision at Bradford College, and two students from Year 9 attend full-time at the James project. Around 90 students in each year group from Year 9 to Year 11 study a work-related course at Leeds City College, Keighley Campus.  Since the last inspection there have been a significant number of new staff appointed to the school, including appointments to middle leadership roles and to the senior leadership team. Following a substantial restructuring in 2014 of the responsibilities of pastoral staff, a number of teachers are now in new roles.
