School Description

Fort Hill is smaller than most secondary schools. The number on roll has fallen since the previous inspection. The proportion of disabled students and those with special educational needs in the school is close to the national average. The school operates a small specialist resource unit for students with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. This can cater for up to 18 students. There are currently 12 students supported by this provision for part of their education. The proportion of disadvantaged students for whom the school receives the pupil premium is broadly average. This is additional government funding for those students known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after. About one in five of Year 7 students are supported by separate catch-up funding. This is for those students who had not reached the expected levels in English and mathematics by the time they completed Year 6 in their primary schools. Most students are of White British heritage. A very small number of students in Years 10 and 11 follow vocational courses at Basingstoke College for part of their education. The achievement of these students is not reported in detail. The school meets the government’s floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress. Since the previous inspection, there have been significant changes to teaching staff and to leadership responsibilities. The previous headteacher left at short notice at the end of the summer holidays of 2013. The current executive headteacher, who was formerly also the headteacher of another local secondary, Cranbourne Business and Enterprise College, began working with Fort Hill in September 2013 in a parttime capacity. She began as interim executive headteacher and divided her time between the two schools. An acting full-time head of school was then appointed at Fort Hill from October 2013. Supported by the local authority, on 23 February 2015, Fort Hill and Cranbourne federated, with both leadership posts − executive headteacher and head of school − becoming permanent. Arrangements for governance have also undergone significant change. The Chair of the Governing Body at the time of the previous inspection resigned during 2013. There were other numerous changes of personnel at that time. With the start of the federation, a new single governing body for both Fort Hill and Cranbourne has just come into existence; it met for the first time at the beginning of the week of the inspection.
