Acland Burghley School is a mixed comprehensive secondary school in the Tufnell Park area of the London Borough of Camden, in London, England. The school received specialist status as an Arts College in 2000 and is a part of the LaSWAP Sixth Form Consortium. The 2013 Ofsted report summarised the school as follows: ‘The school is larger than the average secondary school. Approximately two-fifths of students are White British. A significant proportion of students are from other White backgrounds, White and Black Caribbean and other Black backgrounds. Several other minority ethnic groups are represented in the school. Over 50% of students speak English as an additional language. An above average proportion of students are known to be eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for children in local authority care, students known to be eligible for free school meals and those from families in the armed forces. A similar proportion of students are entitled to the Year 7 catch-up premium. The proportion of students supported through school action is below average. The proportion of students supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above average. The most common needs are behavioural, emotional and social difficulties and speech, language and communication needs. There are also students with physical disabilities. The school has specialist arts status and has gained the Arts Mark Gold Award.’ The school has a successful Anti-bullying Campaign known as ABC. The ''Good Schools Guide'' said that the school was "remarkable for its art and for the egalitarian effects of its anti-bullying and peer mentoring programme.' The school attained 47% A * to C GCSE scores last year (when?). The school has also twinned with Chianna Primary school from Ghana, and during the year donations are collected and sent to the school in Ghana, who are in need of basic educational supplies. In 2008 three men armed with a sawn-off shotgun burst into the grounds looking for a man said to be unrelated to the school. Parents voiced concerns that the incident was triggered by tensions between a group known as the Tufnell Park Boys and rivals from neighboring Islington. Previous headteacher Michael Shew hit out at a supply teacher for secretly filming pupils misbehaving in class. He confirmed that the school had featured on Channel 5’s hidden camera documentary Classroom Chaos after he was contacted by the Camden New Journal. The documentary, which has received widespread media coverage, showed pupils eating chocolate and crisps in lessons, swearing, telling a teacher to “take a nap” and appearing to search the internet for pornography during a media studies class. Mr Shew argued that the programme’s makers used underhand tactics to film children without their permission and had opened up the possibility of legal action. The school was constructed in the 1960s. In 1984 and 1985, the school was closed to allow asbestos to be removed. The executive headteacher is currently Sue Higgins, the successor of headteacher Jo Armitage whom Ofsted inspectors praised as having a significantly positive impact on the school in their 2010 report.〔 This was less positive in the 2013 inspection where the school was inspected and given notice to improve. Since then the head has resigned. ==LaSWAP Sixth Form== The LaSWAP Sixth Form is the sixth form consortium of four North London schools: Acland Burghley School, La Sainte Union Catholic School, Parliament Hill School and William Ellis School. It is one of the largest sixth form consortia in the Greater London area offering some 42 different AS and A2 courses, AGCEs, BTECs, NVQs and GCSE courses. The name was formed from the first three letters of La Sainte Union and the first letter of the other three schools. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acland Burghley School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
