Ebor Academy Filey

Ebor Academy Filey (formerly Filey School) is a secondary school located in Filey, North Yorkshire, England. It is the only secondary school in Filey, and it also covers surrounding villages, with a significant intake from Hunmanby. The school is under the Enhanced Mainstream School (EMS) umbrella created by North Yorkshire County Council, which means the school is specialised in Special Educational Needs students.[2] As of September it will be the Ebor Academy Filey. It is run by Terry Cartmail. The previous head teachers were Andrew Galbraith and Sue Morgan.

Facilities

The school, until March 2013, had a swimming pool that was open to the residents of Filey, until a shortfall in funding, and inaccurate financial information preventing rescue funding, forced it to close.[3] This was amid claims that North Yorkshire County Council was underfunding the school, a claim it denies.[4] The school facilities have improved massively since Ebor Alliance took over. There are chromebooks for all the humanities sections, more PE facilities and more opportunities.

Ofsted Inspections

A 2010 Ofsted report for the school gave a Grade 3 (satisfactory) rating, stating that "This is a satisfactory school. Some areas of its work are good."[5]

A subsequent inspection in 2013 reduced the school's rating to Grade 4 (inadequate) - the lowest possible grade - citing "achievement of pupils" and "quality of teaching" as inadequate, and "behaviour and safety of pupils" and "leadership and management" as requiring improvement, saying overall that "this is a school that has serious weaknesses".[6]

As of September 2014, Filey School fell into special measures, being rated Grade 4 (inadequate) in all four categories.[7]

In July 2015 a whistleblower leaked a report about the serious failings of Filey School. The whistleblower states “The school would be better closed because the level of education the students’ are getting at the moment is almost nonexistent,” said the anonymous source.[8]
