History and operations

[edit]

The school was built in 1971[2] and converted into an academy in 2011.[3]

After its 2004 inspection of Baylis Court School, the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills reported:

[the school is] a good and effective school; it provides a good quality of education for its pupils.[4]

After a Section 5 inspection on 15 October 2007, the school was rated as 'Outstanding' and, indeed, received this rating in all but two of the 26 criteria that are measured against this standard (i.e. the 1-4 Ofsted criteria).[5]
