Golborne High School in Wigan has celebrated attaining ‘Outstanding’ status following a recent visit from Ofsted.
After numerous inspections rated them as ‘Good’ since 2006, the senior leadership team, the education quality, personal development strategy and outstanding behaviour has tipped them into the inspector’s highest ranking bracket. This ‘journey to outstanding’ has been a collective effort according to the headteacher, who stated it has come from a ‘shared vision of excellence’.
Inspectors spoke to a number of pupils and highlighted how they had been helped through the coronavirus period by staff. They scored the Lowton Road school top marks in all departments.

“Pupils benefit from highly supportive relationships with teachers,” the report from the inspection on January 12 said. “This helps pupils to feel happy and safe in school.
“For example, pupils in Year 11 spoke highly about the help that they had received from staff about looking after their mental health during recent examinations. Leaders deal swiftly and appropriately with any incidents of bullying or hurtful language.”
The report also claimed that pupils at the school aspire to achieve highly ‘because leaders and staff expect the very best of them’. The inspector added that pupils live out the ‘Golborne Way’ through their actions each day - an ethos drummed in by the whole school, according to their headteacher.
Alison Gormally, headteacher of Golborne High School, said in a statement: “It is with great pride that I can celebrate the amazing achievement of being judged as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas. This is the outcome of

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In “Bottoms,” a high-school comedy that is brazenly gonzo, scaldingly and at times even dementedly over-the-top, and actually about something, PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri) have been best friends since the first grade, but in their senior year at Rock Ridge High they’re at the end of their tether. They’re losers, they’re lonely, they’re lesbians — and in their eyes, that puts them beneath the bottom of the food chain. So they do what anyone in their position might do. They decide to start a fight club! It’s modeled (sort of) on the one in “Fight Club,” though the movie isn’t particularly interested in that film, where the characters staged bare-knuckle brawls out of a kind of self-serious macho romantic doomsday nihilism. In “Bottoms,” PJ and Josie, in the time-honored tradition of teen-movie protagonists out to lose their virginity, are just looking for a way to sleep with the cheerleaders they have crushes on. They build the club around a scurrilous and rather ridiculous lie: that they’ve both spent time in “juvie.” Sitting around in the gym, with a handful of the “normal” girls they’ve roped into joining the club, all of them share stories about the men they’ve had to fend off (stalkers, pervy stepfathers, you name it). And when they get to the fight-club part, letting out their aggression, the jabs are shockingly violent. We laugh, but we also think: What’s going on here?

Why insist on putting yourself through this reliving of your high school experience?One of the things I say a lot when I was trying to get the film made is “I go home so you don’t have to.” I’ve always been interested in archetypal stories or if there’s a story about one person’s life, it’s meant to be something that resonates. Personal films, they only work if people can relate, otherwise it’s just narcissism. How many people are out there who are like me? Who are outsiders? Because one of the things I came to understand by making this film is how the hierarchy and the politics of high school separate us from one another so there’s that sense of “I’m the only one.” It’s kind of like a lost tribe of people that we run away and we don’t necessarily keep up with people.
