Standards
The opening of the new modern building (designed in the shape of a letter 'G') was delayed by three years. The Gateway Community College was signed off by Ofsted as a successful Fresh Start school in 2006. The school then became an academy in 2007. The Academy has brought many improvements in access to education for the students of the area, and as of an inspection in November 2011 was rated as "Outstanding" by Ofsted. A subsequent Ofsted inspection of March 2017, downgraded the school from Outstanding to Requires Improvement category. After an inspection in March 2019, Ofsted graded them as 'Good'.[2]
