Wye School


Wye School is a mixed free school based in Wye, Kent, England.
The school caters for students aged 11–18 years. It is currently a 3-form entry school admitting 90 pupils, was over-subscribed in its second academic year, and is expected to have approximately 600 students on roll when full.

Background

Wye School opened in September 2013, following a successful campaign led by local parents and community members to meet the demand for more high-quality school places in the Ashford area.
The school is part of United Learning, a national group of schools spanning the state and independent sectors, united in the aim of bringing out 'the best in everyone'.

Ofsted

In June 2015, the school had its first Ofsted inspection, when the school was judged to be 'Good'.
Then again in 2018, as part of a short inspection, Ofsted confirmed that Wye School continues to be 'Good'. Following the visit, in a letter to the school's Principal, the Inspector wrote: "Your determination to provide the best standard of education for each pupil is clear."

Academic Achievement

In August 2018, the school's first GCSE cohort celebrated receiving their exam results.
As well as a number of individual successes, these saw 66% of students achieving five or more 9-4/A*-C grades including English and maths, under the government's new grading structure.

Education with Character

As part of United Learning, alongside pursuing academic excellence, Wye School believes in providing an 'Education with Character'.
