Outwood Academy Bydales (formerly Bydales School) is a secondary school in Marske-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire, England. In 2014 the school had an enrollment of 760 pupils.

History

Outwood Academy Bydales was previously Bydales School until 31 January 2015. Prior to this it was Marske County Modern School, built in 1965.[2][3][4]

The original school buildings were demolished [5] after completion of a new PFI building that was opened to pupils on 2 November 2006.[6] The new school buildings – which received criticism over its aesthetics, being described by a resident as "a terrible mess" with "huge liquorice allsorts" on the roof[7] – were officially opened by local MP Vera Baird on 7 November 2007.[8] The same day the school's fair trade shop began trading.[9][10]

The school was accepted, with 114 other schools, onto the trust school programme in April 2008.[11]

In 2008, 61% of pupils achieved 5A*-C GCSEs, including English and Maths.[12] In the first year as Outwood Academy Bydales this figure rose to 72%.[13] As a result it was named in the top three schools in Teesside for 2015.[14]

The school won the 'DCSF Award for Sustainable Schools in the North-East and Cumbria' in the Teaching Awards 2009.[15]

The school was inspected by Ofsted on 5 December 2013 where it was placed into special measures.[16] The school's headteacher Alaisdair Kesson resigned in December 2013, a year after joining the school. The school was removed from special measures when it became an academy in February 2015.[17] In October 2015 it was announced by Ofsted that new academies would not be inspected until their third year of opening.[18]

On 19 June 2014 the school was announced to become a 'sponsored Academy', joining the Outwood Grange Family of Schools due to Bydales 'special measures' status. On 10 June 2014 the Evening Gazette published an article giving more details about the sponsor arrangements.[19]

After joining the Outwood Grange Family of Schools, Bydales School was renamed Outwood Academy Bydales, converting to an academy on 1 February 2015.[20] The uniform has also transitioned to the new Outwood style, initially with ties handed out to students, followed by the full uniform in January 2015 including blazers.[21]

Facilities

Outwood Academy Bydales has a small wind turbine, solar panels and a hydrogen fuel cell.[22]

Uniform

The school's uniform comprises a black school jacket (blazer), white shirt/blouse, black trousers/skirt and tie.[23]

Notable people

Land Speed Record holder Andy Green grew up in Marske and attended Bydales.[24] Singer and songwriter Georgina Anderson also comes from Marske, she attended Bydales.[citation needed] Winter Paralympian (Alpine Skiing) and World Disabled Water Ski Champion, Sean Rose left Bydales School in 1987.
