Cardinal Newman Catholic School in Brighton has 2260 pupils, which far exceeds the country average. Having almost an equal mix of male and female students, they have 49.6% girls and 50.4% boys. Educational welfare officers are appointed by the local authority to monitor attendance rates. A 94.2% attendance rate gives the school an average attendance record. They have 117 members of staff, which far exceeds the average. Cardinal Newman Catholic School has a 19:1 teacher/student ratio, far exceeding the normal in the UK, making for a large number of pupils in each classroom of just one teacher, which may impede lesson progression.

KS4 enables pupils to learn about a variety of subjects, some of which are compulsory under the national curriculum and others voluntary.

There is a growing reliance by higher educational institutions upon predicted grades at A Level when offering places to pupils. An average A Level score of 30.14 is just above the normal result for the country. The school provides an average full time teacher`s salary of £39912 , a high figure for the UK. Only 82.2% of pupils speak English as a 1st language in this school, a proportion much lower than the countries average figure.

Ofsted

About Ofsted

Ofsted have been inspecting schools on a regular basis since 2005. After a cursory warning period they undertake a thorough examination of the whole school. Inspectors will sit in on classes, assessing each teacher's teaching ability. They will also evaluate the way the current curriculum is implemented, and how the progress of each student is tracked throughout their tenure.

Each school is graded on a four point scale: 1 being outstanding, 2 being good, 3 means they require improvement, and 4 signifying inadequate. Those schools attaining an outstanding or good grade might not be re-inspected for as long as five years; while those receiving lower grades will be reassessed with greater frequency, with little or no notice prior to the inspectors arriving.
