From The Principal
In May 2012, Tuxford became the first secondary school in Nottinghamshire to be judged by Ofsted to be outstanding for the second time. In August 2012 Tuxford students achieved 77% 5+A*-Cs including English and Maths, 98% 5+ A*-Cs and 100% 5+A*-Gs. These were record results and measures which again ensure that Tuxford remains one of the top performing schools nationally.
These outstanding results are obtained because Tuxford is clearly focused on:
-
Delivering high quality teaching
-
Ensuring high standards of behaviour
-
Achieving outstanding examination results
-
Building an outstanding community spirit within the school
-
Responding to individual needs
Tuxford students are proud of their school and their achievements. They work hard, support each other and enjoy school. This was recognised by Ofsted in 2012 when they reported:
Students are courteous and considerate. They conduct themselves with commendable maturity in lessons and around the academy. Their positive attitudes are a key factor in their progress and achievement.
We intend to ensure Tuxford remains a top performing school. This will be facilitated by continuing to develop productive partnerships within the school and beyond. Working closely with parents and others will benefit our students and ensure Tuxford continues to flourish.
We have superb facilities available to our students and we have, in consultation with the students, developed these even further over the past 18 months. We intend to continue to invest in buildings and grounds hence creating a first class environment for our students.
Visitors to the school often comment on the positive atmosphere, the fantastic students and a strong sense of purpose that exists in the school. This is only possible by working in partnership with parents and we plan to strengthen these relationships even further. Tuxford Parents Teachers Association, of which all parents are members, gives tremendous support to the school and we hope you will be able to join in.
