School Description

The school is an average-sized secondary school with a sixth form. Shortly after the previous inspection, a new deputy headteacher joined the school. The members of the senior leadership team have all been in the school for over two years, with the exception of one of the six assistant headteachers who joined in September 2016. The school hosts a specially resourced provision, funded by the local authority, for pupils who have autistic spectrum disorder. For a large proportion of their lessons, these pupils are taught in mainstream classes. The proportion of pupils who have a statement of special educational needs or an Inspection report: Princes Risborough School, 16–17 May 2017 Page 10 of 13 education, health and care (EHC) plan is above the national average, whereas the proportion who have special educational needs and/or disabilities without a statement of special educational needs or an EHC plan is below average. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported by the pupil premium is below the national average. The school uses no alternative provision. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The school meets requirements on the publication of specified information on its website. The school does not comply with Department for Education guidance on what academies should publish about the articles of association of the academy trust.

“Education is a journey not a destination.”

"> PRS is going through a Renaissance. The teachers, staff and most of the parents are excited about the school's and pupils' future. My children really enjoy their education at this school (currently in Years 7 & 8). It's not perfect but no school is. But the journey the school is on is one that is exciting for all that has jumped on-board. I've given this school 4 stars, irrespective of its Ofsted report (I print material for Ofsted training so I know what their leniency tends to be). Four stars is allowing the school to grow and develop into 5 stars - it will happen.
