Carisbrooke College. Picure by Thearle Photography. CARISBROOKE College has been praised by Ofsted inspectors for not letting the Covid lockdown affect pupils education. Following a remote inspection last month, which was conducted due to the school s requires improvement Ofsted rating, inspectors found Carisbrooke and its leaders were taking effective action to provide education in the current circumstances. At the time of the inspection, at the start of February, only a tenth of pupils were being educated on site, with most pupils engaging consistently well at home, learning the same as those pupils physically attending the school. Inspector Matthew Haynes said the school had maintained the momentum of improvement since the previous inspection, demonstrating its ambition and determination to make sure pupils receive a good education despite the challenges in the last year.
The school has been testing this week in line with government guidance. All year groups had over 80 per cent uptake with one year group more than 90 per cent, but it has uncovered a student who has tested positive. The school said all families affected have been contacted. A message from Karen Begley, executive deputy headteacher/head of school, said in a newsletter: The advantage of the tests is we can become aware if someone is a carrier and make the necessary adjustments to make everyone safer.
