Parental Survey 2018Please take a few moments to respond to this online survey. You will have received a letter with your login details. This can also be found in the newsletter dated 23 April. By completing the questionnaire, you will be telling us how you think we should be spending our time and resources, to make our school the best that it can be for your child. Each completed questionnaire is vital in finding out what parents think. Your answers will be treated in the strictest confidence and will make a difference to how we run the school and plan for the future.

Top 10% of Post 16 Centres nationallyWe are very pleased to have confirmation from Alps of the excellent performance of students in the Post 16 Centre. Our students' results are compared with 2,890 schools across the country and we are placed in the top 10%. This represents consistently high performance over the last three years. Congratulations to everyone in the Post 16 team for their support and guidance and to all our Post 16 students and teachers for their continuing success.

OfstedWe have our OFSTED letter following our short inspection on 25 January 2018. It is a fair report and we are confirmed as a GOOD school. I hope that you know that we work hard to maintain our excellent areas and improve what needs improving. (Just so you know, when OFSTED says that disadvantaged pupils ‘underachieve’ or have progress ‘well below average’, they have a specific meaning. ‘Disadvantaged pupils’ are also known as Pupil Premium. Their achievement and progress is measured against all pupils nationally. At Tallis, disadvantaged pupils perform at the average level for disadvantaged pupils nationally.) As this was a short inspection the team of three only looked at areas identified by their data. They did not, for example, look at any aspect of Tallis post-16 or at any departments not named in the letter. They’ll do a full inspection next time. The team were impressed by the responses on Parent View. Thank you for your support.
