Loxford School of Science and Technology has passed some significant developmental milestones. The school is currently undergoing a new building programme under the “Building Schools for the Future Programme”. It is classed as “outstanding” by Ofsted which exemplifies the many milestones that the school has passed in the previous years. April 2010 witnessed the advent of a new dawn in the educational provision, resources and accommodation for all concerned, this being the opening of our new school. We are now confidently moving forward as we expand further by opening the first 'all through' school in Redbridge. From September 2011 we have students in Reception and year 1 and this will expand over the coming years.
You will be joining a school that is really going places. At Loxford School we believe our pioneering and rigorous learning environment, and commitment to innovation, provides our students with the opportunity to realise their full potential.
Rated as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, our high VA scores have been commended and our academic attainment continues to improve. Winner of the Evening Standard Award for Outstanding Achievement in 2008, we are proud of the students’ success and wish to go on further. Like us, you will be dynamic, innovative and hardworking. You will also have exceptional subject knowledge and a firm commitment to high academic achievement.
Our over riding aim now is to build on our success to date and improve standards of attainment in each year. It is essential that the school is ready for the increase in student numbers and staffing matches the needs of the curriculum. The key area for progress is to develop students into learners who have the resources to progress to university regardless of ability. Students will view education from a “stage not age” perspective and they will be encouraged to capitalise on their talents rather than their weaknesses. Our curriculum is being “tweaked” in different areas to ensure that students are given a personalised curriculum which matches their needs and aspiration. This ideology takes in the implications of the governments agenda on personalised learning and the Children and Young Peoples Plan. A key focus area will be post 16 education within this development plan.
