NMBEC Achieves the NACE Challenge Award for a Second Time

 

We are very proud to announce that NORBURY MANOR BUSINESS & ENTERPRISE COLLEGE FOR GIRLS has become only the 30th school nationally to achieve the NACE Challenge Award for Able, Gifted and Talented Pupils for a second time.
 
Re-accreditation of the Award is given for sustaining high quality work by the whole school, teachers and governors, in challenging all pupils, including those with high abilities, to achieve their best over the last four years.
 
The NACE assessor judged the quality of the school’s work by observing lessons, interviewing pupils and teachers.  To achieve the Award for a second time is most challenging and only given when schools demonstrate that they have sustained a high level of quality provision over the last four years and addressed any development points from their last assessment.
 
Assessors, who spent time in the school, were impressed by strong leadership and management of provision which keeps the needs of more able learners at the forefront of the school’s work and the good support and challenge provided by the Governors.
 
A huge thank you to all the staff who helped achieve this award. Also a special thank you to the six pupils who were interviewed by the assessor: Sarah Blakemore (Year 13), Ella McCarron (Year 12), Lydia Acquah (Year 11), Bethany Lock, Bryana Aimable-Lina (Year 9) and Chloe Lam (Year 8).
