School Performance
Onslow St Audrey's is a rapidly improving school, its most recent Ofsted inspection report deeming it to be "good with a number of outstanding features." Results have improved dramatically year-on-year, and the most recent contextual value-added measure places it third in Hertfordshire. Teachers and students alike are elated with recent achievements which have acted as a spring-board to continued success and improvement.
The 2009 Ofsted inspection report judged care, guidance and support to be outstanding, wrote of "students' pride in and enjoyment of their school", and deemed attainment and achievement to be good. Ofsted judged overall leadership and management to be good and the leadership of the Headteacher, Paul Meredith, to be outstanding.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or performance:
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
