Coventry schools<br />
get highest grades<br />
Staff at four Coventry schools have<br />
had their work marked by school<br />
inspectors – <strong>and</strong> have achieved top<br />
grades all round...<br />
ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
Bablake & King Henry VIII Pre Prep, Bablake School <strong>and</strong> King<br />
Henry VIII School, have been scrutinised by the ISI inspectorate,<br />
which published its reports this month. Each of the four has<br />
been judged ‘excellent’ in all categories examined - academic<br />
<strong>and</strong> other achievements, <strong>and</strong> personal development.<br />
The schools are all part of the Coventry School Foundation, <strong>and</strong><br />
Chris Staley, Principal said that he was enormously proud of staff<br />
<strong>and</strong> pupils.<br />
He added “Just look at the pace of development in AI. We have<br />
to turn out pupils who are ready for a world of work which we<br />
can’t yet even imagine. We are going to be looking at investing in<br />
IT in order to meet that challenge head on.”<br />
The inspectors reported that Bablake School pupils achieved<br />
highly, <strong>and</strong> mainly at higher grades than expected in GCSE <strong>and</strong> A<br />
level exams, while enjoying pursuits such as Formula One racing<br />
teams, opera, <strong>and</strong> cricket tours.<br />
The inspectors said that pupils “achieve highly in a wide range of<br />
subject areas,” <strong>and</strong> that staff “help ensure that every individual is<br />
valued”.<br />
King Henry VIII meanwhile impressed inspectors with its robotics<br />
team, which represents the UK on the worldwide stage; grades<br />
beyond expectations; <strong>and</strong> pupil happiness.<br />
“Pupils radiate cheerfulness <strong>and</strong> care for each other, in large part<br />
because of the priority attached by staff to their wellbeing,” the<br />
report says.<br />
