Hillcrest School, A Specialist Maths and Computing College and Sixth Form Centre was recently visited by Ofsted Inspectors and were thrilled to receive the top grade – grade 1 ‘Outstanding’. The school has gone from strength to strength in recent years with Hillcrest placed in the top 5% of schools nationally in 2008. The schools drive for improvement has brought about some very innovative and highly effective developments including an excellent online VLE, a language village and state of the art ICT facilities.
Students celebrated superb GCSE results in 2008 with 71% gaining 5 or more A to C grades and over a third gaining 10 or more A to C grades.Inspectors found that outstanding leadership at all levels ensures that Hillcrest students are provided with an ‘excellent education’. However, the school is aware that even outstanding schools can improve and Hillcrest is continuing its drive to raise standards even further.
Lynda Roan headteacher said ‘It’s a pleasure to work with a team of outstanding staff and students who are keen to learn and approach their classes with such maturity.
This together with the GIR system has enabled the school to make exceptional progress over the last three years.’
