A HALESOWEN school has kept its Good rating from Ofsted with inspectors saying it could have got Outstanding if it had carried out a full inspection.

Windsor High was rated Good by inspectors who visited the school on May 4 and 5 for an interim inspection - with the report published on June 22.

They lavished praise on the Richmond Street school saying it could be rated 'outstanding' if a full inspection was carried out now.

The report published this month states: "Windsor High School and Sixth Form continues to be a good school.

"There is enough evidence of improved performance to suggest that the school could be judged outstanding if the inspectors were to carry out a section 5 inspection now.

"The school’s next inspection will be a section 5 inspection."

The report states: "Pupils flourish.

"Leaders set high expectations of what pupils can achieve academically and socially.

"Pupils realise these expectations."

It goes on to say pupils "feel safe" and are "not worried about bullying" and that there are clubs on offer each week including sport, book club, gardening, chess and sci-fi as well as trips to the theatre, local universities, overseas trips and residentials.

The report states: "Subjects are well-planned and sequenced. Pupils successfully build on their learning year on year.

"Pupils apply their knowledge and skills with increasing fluency and independence, for example in mathematics lessons.

"Teachers use assessment well.

"Work in pupils’ books shows that the feedback teachers give to pupils helps them to significantly improve their learning."

It also states the school provides effective support for pupils with SEND and that "all staff speak highly of the support they get from leaders" and that "staff morale is high."

The school's last full inspection was in 2012 when it was rated Good.
