Outwood Grange Academy
Outwood Grange Academy is a modern secondary school and Sixth Form with academy status in Outwood, near Wakefield, England. It has a mixed intake of both boys and girls aged 11–18, and with in excess of 2400 pupils〔(2006 Ofsted Report )〕 is one of the largest schools in England. The college, established in 1971, was formerly known as Outwood Grange School prior to changing its identity in 2002. The current principal is Michael Wilkins.
In 2003, the school was achieving a GCSE pass rate with around 46%〔(The BBC Education League Tables 2005 )〕 of pupils achieving five A to C grades. By 2005 that result had risen to 83%,〔 an increase underpinned by the quality of an updated curriculum and new intervention schemes used to aid underperforming students. Additionally, it has been said that much of the increase in 'success' was brought about by using 'GCSE equivalent' qualifications such as GNVQs, which have been criticised as resulting in illusory increases in statistical performance rather than genuine academic improvement.〔https://www.tes.com/article.aspx?storycode=2186999〕 〔http://www.localschoolsnetwork.org.uk/2014/02/from-outstanding-to-special-measures-in-less-than-3-years-same-head-same-chair-of-governors-what-issues-does-this-raise/〕
==Recent developments==
Outwood Grange College achieved specialist technology college status in 2002. Since then it has seen major redevelopment work improving college grounds, buildings and the facilities in general. This included major renovation works to the majority of the Upper College Block, where new ICT suites, a recording studio and improved reception facilities were created. The Lower College Hall also received attention and was equipped with retractable seating and conferencing equipment.
In 2005 a gravel playing field, commonly known as "redgra" after its composition of red gravel, was replaced with an astroturf sports field after many years of fundraising. In the same year a new Business and Training Centre was opened, housing both the Business Department and additional training facilities for rental purposes. The college has used these advanced facilities to aid other schools in the region, and to participate in the launch of national initiatives such as "Make Your Mark Start Talking Ideas", which encourages youngsters to engage themselves with businesses.
