Academics

St Anne's operates a 3 year Key Stage 3, and a two year Key Stage 4. A choice is made between History and Geography in year 8, and the main GCSE options in year 9 for year 10 and 11. [5]

Key Stage 4

The core curriculum which all students follow is made up of the following GCSE subjects, English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Religious Education and two Combined GCSE Science qualifications that cover Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Students have already selected one Humanity subject in Year 8, History or Geography, which takes up their first GCSE option and they now choose two further option subjects. [5]

Ofsted

Recent Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) inspections who have included:

2014 Ofsted Inspection

Ofsted rated the school as being inadequate in several areas, including leadership and management and quality of teaching, during a 2014 inspection. In the same academic year, school received negative reviews on Parent View, which is operated by Ofsted, and 68% of parents said they did not trust the management of the school. [6] As a consequence, the school is inspected once every three months. A 2015 inspection, whilst accepting there was "a long way to go", showed the school was making reasonable progress towards the removal of special measures, and the school's action plan was now fit for purpose. [7]

2020 Ofsted Inspection

Six years later, the school was subjected to a full inspection. The inspectors were excoriating saying: "The people who are responsible for this school have failed its pupils for far too long.Leaders have not ensured that the school is a safe and happy place in which pupils can flourish" [8]

The school has gained the sobriquet 'The Forgotten School' and had ten head-teachers in eleven years. The current headteacher Dan Wright is in negotiations to join the Emmaus Trust, [9] a potential Catholic multi-academy trust (CMAT) proposed for the southern part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford.
