Ofsted Report 2009
The School has drawn up detailed plans in response to the three Areas for Development identified by the Inspection team:
- Raise standards in English in both key stages by improving teaching and learning and by evaluating the effectiveness of leadership and management of this subject
- Engage all leaders and managers in a rigorous programme of detailed lesson observations to identify and share best practice and evaluate the impact this has on students’ performance.
- Ensure that monitoring procedures become firmly embedded so teachers and managers know how well all students are achieving and can intervene promptly to support those requiring additional help.
These plans will be reviewed and amended as necessary. They are designed to provide a framework for action with milestone dates and identification of responsibilities.

Archbishop Sancroft is a Voluntary aided Church School.
In these schools the governors employ the staff, are responsible for the admissions to the school, and determine the content of the religious education syllabus. The daily worship within the school will follow the Anglican tradition of school worship and will be one of the key activities contributing to the sense of community and strong Christian ethos that is a feature of Anglican schools. The governors also have to find 10% of the cost of all major building work carried out on the school building. The governing body of these schools includes governors nominated by the Church and the LEA, and others elected by the parents and the staff; the governors nominated by the Church are always in the majority.
As well as being inspected by Ofsted, Church Schools are inspected by a body known as SIAS.
