Pupils set for ‘extraordinary futures’ after school rated ‘excellent’

Nottingham Girls’ High Schools (NGHS) is celebrating after achieving the highest possible rankings from the Independent Schools Inspectorate inspection in December.

The High Schools were rated “excellent” for both academic achievement and quality of personal development, with inspectors describing their visit as a “joy”.

All areas of the school rated above the national average for maintained schools, including rating “well above” in GCSE results, and “far above” in A Level results.

Pupils are described as showing “highly positive attitudes towards learning” and “achieving great success across a wide range of academic, sporting, drama, music and other activities.”

The new NGHS Nursery is also praised, with the girls’ “excellent” learning in numbers, counting, shapes and patterns commended and described as being a result of the enjoyable and stimulating activities set by their teachers.

A statement from NGHS said: “With head, Julie Keller, having been in post for three years now, this the latest accolade in our ambition to be the school that empowers girls for extraordinary futures.”
