Long Stratton High School is a secondary school located in the town of Long Stratton in the English county of Norfolk. It educates children from ages 11 to 16 and has around 650 pupils at any one time. The school has a specialism in teaching Mathematics and ICT.
The school was last fully inspected in 2012, and the inspectors found a smaller than-average secondary school which meets the expectations for attainment and progress. The students were almost exclusively white British: the proportion of students from minority ethnic groups is low all speak English as a first language. The proportion supported at school action is above average but the proportion of disabled students is below average, as is the number with statements of special educational need. Students behave well. Exclusions are very low and attendance is on an upward trend and is above average.[3]
Curriculumedit
Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'.[4]
Years 7-9 "enjoy a wide breadth of subjects. They develop as artists, designers and performers, as linguists, geographers and historians, as scientists and as sportsmen and women."[5]
