We spoke to lots of pupils who all said they enjoy school. They welcome the emphasis teachers put on doing well in lessons. They also appreciate the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects. Pupils in the secondary achieve strong examination results. However, the range of subjects they study in Year 9 is not broad enough. The school is changing this. Pupils find their learning enjoyable. Across the school, relationships between teachers and pupils are strong. Pupils are polite and respect other people. Their behaviour is strong. Teachers are able to teach without any interruptions so that everyone can learn. Pupils enjoy the days for personal development when they focus on a particular topic, such as keeping safe online. Many pupils involve themselves in the wide range of opportunities for learning outside the classroom. These include debating, visits and sports. Pupils have won impressive awards for their achievements. All the pupils we spoke with feel safe in school. They are not worried about bullying. They know that staff will sort out any problems they might have, and that they will be helped to do well in their examinations. What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? The school has improved a great deal.

  • Deptford Green Sixth Form Students
    MAYOR AND CABINET Report Title Proposal to open a 6th Form at Deptford Green School from September 2012 Key Decision Yes Item No. 18 Ward All Contributors Executive Director of Children and Young People Executive Director for Resources Head of Law Class Part 1 Date: 13 July 2011 Reason for urgency This matter has not been included in the Council’s Forward Plan. However the decision must be taken by a date that makes it impractical to defer it until future Forward Planning and Mayor and Cabinet sessions. This report is part of the process for ‘Decision Making’ in relation to ‘expanding a maintained school by adding a sixth form’. Deptford Green School has completed the various procedures required under the School Organisation Regulations 2007 which include ‘consultation’, ‘publication’, ‘representation’, ‘decision’ and ‘implementation’ of a sixth form for September 2012. Deptford Green School published its notice on 25th May 2011 and therefore the proposal is at the ‘representation’ period (objections or expressions of interest of support to the Local Authority from interested parties) ended on 25 th June 2011 . This allows a final opportunity for the Local Authority to take into account any matters relating to the proposal. It is the Local Authority’s responsibility to make the ‘decision’ to add a sixth form to Deptford Green School for September 2012. Therefore there is a need to make this decision as the Mayor is not due to meet again until September and any decision has to be made within two months of the end of ‘representation’. The reason for lateness is because of the need to incorporate within the report an analysis of the latest available post-16 student level data.
