Orton Longueville School is a Secondary Comprehensive in Peterborough. The school population at the beginning of the 2006/7 academic year stood at just under 1,100 - a slight drop in pupils due to a reduced intake from year 7. The school has a joint sixth form, joint population ~250, with Bushfield Community College approximately 1.5 miles away.
In 2003 the school was selected by the DfES as a designated Specialist Business and Enterprise College. Two new computer suites were constructed to coincide with designation of specialist school and the school as a whole received extra funding.
[edit] Performance
Details from performance of the 2006 academic year, released January 2007.
The school performed averagely at GCSE level coming sixth out of 13 schools in the local area league tables. Around 37% of students achieved 5 good GCSE's (government terminology to identify the inclusion of Maths and English in the results) compared with city's highest state school performer The Kings School, it achieved 91%.
The school performed poorly at A-Level coming eighth out of ten local sixth forms (the table actually shows 11 schools but the penultimate school is OCSF). It has a ranking of 572.3 compared with the highest performer - again the Kings School - which scored 956.2. The national average is 721.5.
Unauthorized absence stood at 1.5%, compared to the local average of 1.2% and the national average of 1.3%
[edit] 2006 Student Protest
At the end of the 2005 - 2006 academic year the School was featured on the front page of the Peterborough Evening Telegraph due to a walkout by the school's sixth formers, triggered by the expulsion of sixth-former Scott Homer by headteacher David Owen.[1]
