OFSTED Report

OFSTED SUCCESS FOR FGS!

FGS are considered one of the very top performing high schools in Trafford and this is evident from the national performance tables.
The most recent inspection information from Ofsted can be accessed from the bottom of this page. Alternatively, you are welcome to contact school to request a paper copy.
Judgements were not altered at that time because a full inspection was not carried out. However, safeguarding was reviewed to ensure that it remains effective and we have continued to feel extremely proud of a number of very complimentary comments which were conveyed by the Lead Inspector, some of which include;

• the inspection of exercise books, scrutiny of external data and confidential interviews with students, staff and Governors, together with our parent and staff survey

Actions taken since the last inspection have resulted in an improved standard of education which include;

• The Headteacher and other leaders have created a positive learning community
