Filey School is a secondary school in Filey, North Yorkshire, England. The school has 534 students of mixed gender,[2] and is headed by Susan Morgan. Filey School is the only secondary school in Filey, and it also covers surrounding villages, with a significant intake from Hunmanby. The school is under the Enhanced Mainstream School (EMS) umbrella created by North Yorkshire County Council, which means the school is specialised in Special Educational Needs students.[3]
Facilities
The school, until March 2013, had a swimming pool that was open to the residents of Filey, until a shortfall in funding, and inaccurate financial information preventing rescue funding, forced it to close.[4] This was amid claims that North Yorkshire County Council was underfunding the school, a claim it denies.[5]
Houses
The school utilises a house system, which is currently divided into Brigg, Carr, Glen, and Wold - all of which are named after local landmarks and attractions, such as Filey Brigg and Glen Gardens.[6] Each house is also assigned a colour - Brigg is blue, Carr is yellow, Glen is green, and Wold is red.[6]
Ofsted Inspections
A 2010 Ofsted report for the school gave a Grade 3 (satisfactory) rating, stating that "This is a satisfactory school. Some areas of its work are good."[7]
A subsequent inspection in 2013 reduced the school's rating to Grade 4 (inadequate) - the lowest possible grade - citing "achievement of pupils" and "quality of teaching" as inadequate, and "behaviour and safety of pupils" and "leadership and management" as requiring improvement, saying overall that "this is a school that has serious weaknesses".[1]
As of September 2014, Filey School fell into special measures, being rated Grade 4 (inadequate) in all four categories.[2]
