Ofsted Information

St Michael's Catholic High School received an Outstanding Ofsted rating in November 2014.

Students make outstanding progress and the vast majority achieve above-average standards in a range of subjects at GCSE, including English and mathematics.

Teaching is outstanding. Teachers teach with authority because they have good subject knowledge. They plan interesting and enjoyable learning activities, which challenge students to work hard and achieve their best.

Disadvantaged students, disabled students and those with special educational needs, make excellent progress and achieve well because the targeted funding is used effectively to support them. The most-able students are stretched and challenged in lessons, and participate in ‘master classes’ and visits to universities.

Students’ behaviour is outstanding. They are highly collaborative, courteous, polite and considerate.

The sixth form is outstanding. High expectations from leaders and teachers underpin students’ commitment to strive to achieve high grades. There is an increase in the proportion achieving higher grades and progressing to good universities.

It’s fantastic to see such giving spirit from the students of 7 Whitby, who give up their lunch time to sell raffle tickets to win a Christmas cake. This annual tradition from Mrs Meehan contributes to our social justice causes 🍰🎅🏻🎄 pic.twitter.com/aM2NbPJGKw

Our A Level Literature students were so lucky to attend ‘An Evening With Margaret Atwood’ tonight. Students study ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ as part of their course, so it was invaluable to hear the wit and wisdom of this iconic, influential writer first hand. pic.twitter.com/1ZWTUctTEK
