CLF NEWS “Collaboration for Outstanding Achievement”

The Cabot Learning Federation Newsletter / Summer 2013

OFSTED SEAL OF APPROVAL “The way in which expertise and skills are shared across the Cabot Learning Federation is exceptionally impressive. It gives the academies an extremely high level of support which has helped them to provide a good quality education.” OFSTED June 2013 The morning of June 10 2013 is one I will remember for a long time. Having just recovered from the inspection at Begbrook Primary Academy on June 4 and 5 2013, I found out in the space of 45 minutes that we were to see further inspections at Bristol Brunel, Hans Price and King’s Oak Academies on the same days, June 11 and 12 2013.

The outcomes for all four academies are now well known and the reports are published. All four academies are now officially “good” and I cannot begin to describe adequately what an achievement this has been. You will see from the quote above that the work of the CLF has also been recognised as being significant in this improvement but the credit rests with the staff, leaders and Principals of the academies. The OFSTED bar has risen. We saw this a year ago when Bristol Metropolitan Academy was impressively judged to be “good”. The quality of the improvement in each of the schools is wonderful to see and I am proud to lead an organisation that is capable of making this type of difference to the lives of young people. I am also pleased for the staff who can say with pride that they work in a good school. We must not be complacent and I know that we are not. Every academy that has been inspected since joining the CLF has been judged as good or outstanding. We have to be innovative, more rigorous and more determined than ever to build on this so that our academies complete the journey to outstanding within the next three years.
