After years of being regarded as ‘Requires Improvement’ for more than a decade, Lowton Church of England High School has celebrated its new Ofsted score.

Since rebranding as a Church of England school back in 2012, the Newton Road site has continued to require improvement, according to inspectors.

However, after four full inspections, with the last coming in 2019, the school has finally been graded as ‘Good’.

We are a school in the community with the highest of aspirations for each child that comes here – and this report reflects that we are delivering on that promise in all year groups in the school. “Each day we aim to be excellent in all we do, and this report reflects that we are delivering on that commitment each day.” The Ofsted report, published at the end of May, follows an inspection back in March 21 and 22 which highlighted that children “achieve well and are well prepared for the next stage of their education”.
