Ofsted

We are incredibly proud of the outcome of our most recent Ofsted inspection, where GEM Hereford was rated ‘Good’ in all areas. This result is a testament to the hard work, passion and unwavering commitment of our entire team. We are especially pleased that the report reflects the positive and purposeful culture we strive to create every day. Ofsted noted that “pupils are happy and take advantage of the broad range of activities on offer,” which highlights our commitment to providing enriching experiences both inside and outside the classroom.

The inspectors recognised that GEM Hereford is “full of passion and ambition for getting pupils’ education just right,” and we take great pride in tailoring our approach to meet the individual needs of every student. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that each child is supported not only academically, but emotionally and socially too.

We were also delighted that the strong relationships across our school were commended, with the report stating that “positive relationships between staff and pupils underpin the school’s work” and that students “feel welcome, secure and motivated to learn.” These observations are a true reflection of our core values—Growth, Empowerment, and Motivation—and they reaffirm our belief that with the right support and environment, every learner can succeed.

At G.E.M Hereford, we see this report as a milestone in our journey, and we remain committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and above all, the wellbeing and success of our students.

Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the government to help schools support disadvantaged pupils and close the attainment gap between them and their peers.

At present, GEM Hereford has not received any Pupil Premium funding. Should we receive this funding in the future, we will publish details of how it is used and the impact it has.

In the meantime, all of our students are fully supported through the funding we do receive. We are committed to ensuring that every learner regardless of their background, has access to the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed. Our funding is used strategically to address barriers to learning, provide academic support, and promote emotional and social development across our school community.
