Government inspectors Ofsted praise for Tile Hill all-girls school

Inspectors have heaped praise on pupils at Tile Hill Wood School and Language College - describing them as polite, friendly, punctual and hard working.

A team of inspectors from the governments Office for Standards in Education have just visited the all-girl secondary academy in Nutbrook Avenue, Tile Hill, Coventry.

They had particular praise for pupils at the school, saying they are polite and friendly both to each other and adults, behave well, arrive on time to lessons and with the right equipment, work hard and rarely bully each other.

The inspectors also spoke highly of the staff. The inspection report said teachers have high expectations of pupils, they plan work for different abilities and they are good at asking questions to make sure pupils have understood the lesson.

Teaching assistants are singled out for praise for the way they work with special needs pupils, pupils who have English as a second language and pupils from families on low incomes.

Pupils told the inspectors that teachers spend extra time outside lessons making sure they are keeping up with the work.

The inspectors said all children learn two languages until the age of 14 and most do at least one language at GCSE.

They noted the school also runs trips to Europe and to Japan, and that most of the sixth formers go on to university.

Its the first inspection since the school became an academy in 2011. It was last inspected in 2009 when the grade was also good.

Head Gina OConnor said: We are really pleased the inspectors agreed with us that this is a good school.
