‘Good’ news for Deptford Green School

Deptford Green School has been given a rating of ‘Good’ after its latest Ofsted inspection. Inspectors praised the leadership and said that staff are proud to work there. Pupils said that disrespectful behaviour was simply not tolerated, and spoke positively about the range of services available at school to help them with their mental health and wellbeing. Inspectors noted that pupils have many opportunities to nurture their talents and interests, especially in the creative arts.

Headteacher Emma Thurston said: “We are absolutely delighted with the judgement the inspectors agreed upon. The staff, students and families in our school community have known that Deptford Green is a good school for some time, although the external validation is certainly helpful.

We are excited about what the future holds for our school community and look forward to becoming the leading arts school in Lewisham and beyond.”
