St Michael's Secondary School was a mixed Free school located in Camborne, Cornwall, England. It opened in 2012, has a Roman Catholic ethos and caters for students aged 11–16 years.[1] Due to a lack of pupil numbers it has been merged with Camborne Science and International Academy and will close in 2017.
History
It opened in 2012 as part of the first wave of free schools, but has struggled to attract large numbers of students which would make it viable. It was located on the former Camborne Grammar School site.[2]
In May 2015 the school's new sponsors – Camborne Science and International Academy – announced that it was not viable and would close.[3]
Ofsted
In May 2015, the school had its first Ofsted inspection, when the school was adjudged to be "Requires improvement".[4] The inspectors noted that the quality of teaching, specifically teachers’ use of assessment, was too uneven to promote consistently good progress for all students.[4]
