Hodgson was inspected by the office for standards in education (OFSTED) as Outstanding, the best a school can be. However, this year the school was inspected by the office for another inspection and was rated Good overall - only Outstanding in personal development - leading to a change in the school as seen by all pupils past and present. New measurements had to be brought in including the GCSE course being reduced from 3 years to 2 years, and will show a disparity from the gap.
[2] Hodgson Academy offers GCSEs, BTECs and some AS Level courses as programmes of study for pupils. Most graduating pupils go on to attend Blackpool Sixth Form College or Blackpool and the Fylde College.[3]
History
