Kingsdale Foundation School is a mixed secondary school with academy status in West Dulwich, Southwark, South London, England, with an age range of 11–19. Admissions to the school are coordinated by the Southwark London Borough Council. The school was built by the London County Council and opened in 1958.〔(Building school success, Urban Realm, James Heartfield, 14 September 2004 )〕 It was originally built to accommodate close to 2,000 pupils. From the 1970s it developed a reputation for poor performance and examination results and in 1998 it was put under special measures.〔(PDF, Ofsted Inspection Report, Kingsdale School, 2002, P6 )〕〔(Poor no more, Elaine Williams, TES Magazine, 10 June, 2005 )〕 In an attempt to bring the school up to date, a new management team was put in place and the school formed a partnership with School Works,〔(Lessons From Kingsdale, School Works )〕 an initiative that uses better management and design to improve the attitude and results of failing schools. A £30 million package resulted in a state-of-the-art building utilising the existing structures and an improved environment for the pupils〔 The school was recently identified as one of the most popular state secondary schools in the country.〔()〕 ==Section 5 Ofsted Inspection Report December 2012== The school was judged to be a Good school during the December 2012 Section 5 Ofsted Inspection.〔(Ofsted Inspection Report, December 2012 )〕〔()〕 The school was judged to be at least Good in all areas, with an Outstanding judgement awarded for the Behaviour and Safety of pupils.〔 Notable comments from the December 2012 full Inspection Report include: "All groups of students, including those with additional needs and those supported by the pupil premium, make good progress in their learning and achieve well."〔 "The quality of teaching is good. Teachers are enthusiastic, have good subject knowledge and plan interesting lessons. There are very good relationships between staff and students.."〔 "Students are very proud of their school and behaviour in and out of lessons is excellent. Students are very considerate and respectful to one another and state that they feel very safe in school."〔 "The proportion of students leaving school and entering employment, education or training is well above the national average."〔 "A strong feature of the best lessons is the quality of relationships, which helps to give students the confidence to express ideas, justify their answers and extend their understanding of complex issues...."〔 "...The small class size policy ensures that students receive good individual support from teachers and additional adults, helping all students to make good progress in their learning."〔 "Students behave exceptionally well in lessons and around the school site. They respond to the very high expectations for behaviour and show respect and courtesy to one another and staff."〔 "Students say that they feel very safe and secure in school and parents and carers...strongly agree. Students are cared for extremely well."〔 "The headteacher has high expectations of what staff and students alike can achieve and sets a clear direction for the school's further improvement. He is supported well by his committed team."〔 "The range of subjects and topics taught is imaginative, well constructed and contributes well to students' good achievement and their outstanding spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Numerous opportunities for students to reflect on their work, relationships and behaviour are woven seamlessly into their learning. A wide range of departments provides a large variety of very popular learning opportunities beyond those in lessons."〔 "There is a good range of courses available to students in Key Stage 4 and the sixth form. Courses offered are reviewed regularly and developed in response to the ability and needs of the changing student intake."〔 "The strong commitment to equality of opportunity by school leaders ensures that no group is overlooked and the school ensures that all make similar progress in their learning. Discrimination in any form is not tolerated and this is evident in the courtesy and respect that both staff and students demonstrate for each other."〔 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「Kingsdale Foundation School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
