Welcome

Wyke Manor School is very pleased to announce that as a result of its successful recent inspection, the school has been removed from the Ofsted category – Notice to Improve.

We are delighted with the decision to remove us from the Notice to Improve Category.  The inspection on 21 and 22 January 2009 was a very positive one and the report identifies the significant improvements that have taken place at Wyke Manor School.

Pupils, staff, parents and the wider community will look to celebrate a list of positives about the school in the most recent Ofsted report.  These include:

• A significant rise in standards and student achievement because of improvements in the quality of teaching and learning and well targeted strategies.

• A judgement of good on the quality of care, guidance and support which the school provides for students.

• A curriculum which provides students with increased opportunities to gain qualifications and secure future employment.

• A good capacity to improve even further.

This is an exciting time for the staff and pupils at Wyke Manor School, not only have we moved out of Notice to Improve but we are also moving forward to become Appleton Academy, which will provide an opportunity to build upon the positives Wyke Manor School has achieved.

Appleton Academy is an all through academy that will bring together Wyke Manor School and High Fernley Primary School.  The academy will open in September 2009 in current buildings and will move to state of the art facilities in September 2011.

I would like to thank staff, pupils, parents, the Interim Executive Board and colleagues from Education Bradford for their support.
