Easthampstead Park Community School
The
Most Improved School in Bracknell!!!
21%
increase in GCSE Results & Sports Specialism!!
We started the new school year buoyed by excellent results at GCSE and a new confidence in the teaching and learning which the school can boast. The GCSE groups did attain their targets and the class of 2009 returned a 13% increase on the previous year’s results for 5A*-C including English and Mathematics and a massive 21% in 5A*-C overall with 97% achieving at least 5 GCSE passes.
Results do matter – We are now getting an improvement in results in many parts of the school. The students’ and staff expectation for next year and 2011 is to show a consolidation of these good results. The students are now confident of their abilities and that the staff can help them to achieve their potential.
Sports Specialism – In July EP became the Sports Specialist School for Bracknell Forest and is now looking to develop the sporting provision for the young people of our area and the community at large. The support and enthusiasm for the specialism is not confined to the PE department but every department will be supported through the added resources and connections which are open to us. In addition, History is a strength of the school and is the second specialism. By 2012 EPCS will be the hub for all sport and leisure education and we are asking the students to work with us to plan the future shape of the school.
Other Highlights – Our students received the Diana Award for their work on anti-bullying. We are a school which expects high standards of behaviour and we ensure that these standards are met. Students who transfer into Year 7 tell us how well they are introduced to the ‘EP Way’, and our staff regularly visit feeder schools to prepare students for this important move. We provide a full range of extended services to help meet the needs of students, families and the wider community. The school has Healthy School status and has been awarded the Bog Standard for our healthy toilets!
EP can truly now call itself Easthampstead Park Community School.
