Pupils, staff, parents, carers and governors are celebrating after being graded ‘Outstanding’ in all four areas of their Ofsted inspection in January 2025. The inspection, involving five inspectors from Ofsted, was comprehensive and rigorous, and the result is a glowing report on all areas of the school.

Over the past 7 years, Crown Hills Community College has been on a journey to go from good to great. This has been inspired by the visionary leadership that has gone above and beyond the norm, to ensure that any glass ceiling placed on a child because of their upbringing, is well and truly removed.

The school inspection report said,

‘Pupils are proud to attend Crown Hills Community College. They demonstrate exceptionally positive attitudes and commitment to all of the opportunities that the school provides. There is a real sense of community built on a culture of tolerance and mutual respect between pupils from a diverse range of backgrounds.’

The Ofsted inspectors were particularly impressed by the schools’ exceptional array of enrichment activities, its challenging and interesting curriculum and its provision for the most vulnerable pupils including those with SEND. The report also recognised the teachers for their expert delivery of the curriculum.

‘Attendance is excellent. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They follow routines without fuss, moving around the school calmly and purposefully’.

‘The school has strong links with the local community. It provides support and care for families when they are struggling. Parents and carers appreciate this. Pupils learn how to be good citizens as they take part in community projects and get involved in charity work.’

Headteacher, Mr Farhan Adam said:

“We aim to go beyond the OFSTED framework and we want to be a great school; although it is nice to have been recognised and nice to be told there are no areas for improvement, the journey continues and hopefully this will give our learning community confidence that the journey we are on is a worthwhile and a special one. It would simply not be possible without the staff, governors and support from our wonderful parents.”

We would therefore like to thank all the pupils, parents, staff and governors for their continued support and dedication to the school.
