Ofsted Inspection
Ofsted Q3 Academy Great Barr received a two-day Ofsted inspection in September 2022, where three inspectors rigorously evaluated our effectiveness as an education provider. It was a thorough and demanding inspection, including many lesson observations, ‘deep dives’ on our curriculum plans, conversations with over 150 students, and checks on our behaviour, pastoral care, and safeguarding processes. It is wonderful to share that Q3 Academy Great Barr continues to be a good provider, but this headline only scratches the surface. The feedback is brimming with praise, and we encourage you to see full details in our newsletter here. Ofsted – Provider Ratings and Reports for Q3 Academy Great Barr Ofsted – Parent View
Welcome
Welcome to Q3 Academy Great Barr! Our educational philosophy is simple. First and foremost, we want every child to feel happy and excited about coming to the Academy. Only when each child feels secure and comfortable can we challenge them to grow and learn together. We want our students to return home telling their families of the memorable exciting learning experiences they have enjoyed. Experiences that make it easier to recall the detail necessary for exam success and experiences that develop their character as much as their academic potential. Our passion is helping young people to flourish and become confident, capable adults ready for the world ahead. This passion creates a genuine warmth that supports every member of our community. Our traditional family values and Academy ethos, ‘life to the full in pursuit of what is good, right, and true’ helps to keep the academic and well-being of every child sharply in focus and drives our ambition for continual improvement. Only if our staff can say that what we provide is good enough for their own children is it good enough for yours and I’m proud to say this commitment to care, coupled with high academic ambition is helping all our young people to succeed.
