History and performance
editThe school was established in 1926.[citation needed].
In 2001 it was inspected by Ofsted, with the finding that "Pupils’ attainment on entry is well below average overall ... Ellis Guilford School provides a sound education for its pupils within circumstances that are relatively challenging. Although standards in relation to schools nationally are below average, the majority of pupils make at least satisfactory progress".[2] In 2006 and 2010 it was inspected again and judged Good.[3][4] In 2013 inspection judged it Inadequate because of slow progress made by students and the lack of engaging teaching.[5] In 2015 it was judged Good.[6] In 2018 it was judged Inadequate: Special Measures Required on the grounds of poor teaching, poor outcomes, ineffective safeguarding, low attendance and poor strategic planning.[7][8]
The school became an academy a month after this inspection, in November 2018.[1] It is part of the Creative Education Trust.[1] As of 2020 it has not been inspected since academisation.
The school was criticised in January 2018 after introducing a ban on pupils cycling to school unless they had passed safety training.[9]
