School Description

Mexborough School is similar in size to an average-size secondary school. Just over a third of students, a higher proportion than that found nationally, are supported by pupil premium funding, which provides additional government funding for children in the care of the local authority and those known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of students who have special educational needs and who are supported at school action is above that found nationally. The proportion of students supported at school action plus or who have a statement of special educational needs is lower than that found nationally. The vast majority of students are from a White British background and very few speak English as an additional language. A very small minority of students attend courses away from the school site at Engage Training, Opencast Training, Enhancement Training, Dearne Valley Personal Development Centre, Doncaster Rovers Football Club, the Young Men’s Christian Association and Oracle Training. The sixth form works within a partnership with two local schools, and sixth form students attend courses across the partnership schools. No students are entered early for GCSE examinations. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress. The school has a specialism in science and holds the Healthy School and International School awards and has been awarded Microsoft Academy status. Plans to become an academy have been delayed but are now being implemented. In the past two years, there have been a number of staff changes including at subject teacher level. There are further staff changes planned for September 2014 and the school is experiencing a period of uncertainty around the leadership of the school. The headteacher was not in school at the time of the inspection. The school is currently being led by an executive headteacher from Wakefield City Academies Trust. The Chair of the Governing Body and a number of governors resigned at the end of April 2014 and an Interim Executive Board has been put in place by the local authority.
