After the 2009 Ofsted report, the college was put on special measures due to the following reasons:
Safeguarding
The school did not comply with government requirements for the safety of pupils. (A technical problem of not having updated their policy on the official database).
Equal opportunities
The college failed to tackle the differences in performance between boys and girls. (A technical problem of not having updated their policy on the official database).
Attainment
Attainment has remained consistently low over the past three years and students have made significantly less progress than they should in English and mathematics.
As of October 2010, Burleigh Community College passed a follow-up inspection by Ofsted.

Famous quotes containing the word results:
“There is ... in every child a painstaking teacher, so skilful that he obtains identical results in all children in all parts of the world. The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
“If family communication is good, parents can pick up the signs of stress in children and talk about it before it results in some crisis. If family communication is bad, not only will parents be insensitive to potential crises, but the poor communication will contribute to problems in the family.”
—Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)
“Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impatient of interruption, fenced by etiquette; but the thought which they did not uncover in their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
