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
