RGS - no longer an outstanding school

Post by TNM47 »

Hi

Does anyone know why RGS is no longer an Ofsted 'Oustanding' school - just good - seems odd when it is a selective grammar school>

Thanks

I'm not sure why it being a grammar school would make it outstanding? The criteria may well have changed since the last full inspection so it's now harder to be "outstanding". Burnham Grammar is also "good" & it too is an excellent school.
ETA: I've just had a look & the report you are referring to is from 2019, so it's been merely "good" for some time. The previous full inspection was 2008.
I really wouldn't worry about it, it's a very good school.
