In the centre of the courtyard, a biology pool was installed and at one end of the pool a memorial was built. This honours former pupils who were killed in the two world wars. The bronze plaques that list the former students were transferred from the hall of the old school and added to the memorial.[1][2] Pupils from the school appeared in an ITV quiz show "Chatterbox" broadcast 5 July 1977. Their opponents were The Cedars School of Bedfordshire.[3] ## Inspections In its September 2017 report, [the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills](/source/Ofsted) rated the school as "requires improvement". Teaching, learning and pupils outcomes were all rated as "requires improvement".[4] This assessment was unchanged from its November 2015 report.[4] In January 2020 Ofsted rated the school as "Good". In 2015 53 per cent of pupils got 5 GCSEs including English and maths.[citation needed] The figure for "disadvantaged students" figure was 39 per cent. The Progress 8 figure for 2016 was -0.34 which is below the national average, and the provisional progress 8 figure for 2017 is -0.3 which is again below average.[5] The March 2025 Ofsted report rated the school's quality of teaching as "Requires improvement".[4] ## Notable former pupils - [Dele Alli](/source/Dele_Alli), footballer[6] - [Gregory Davis](/source/Gregory_Davis), murderer[7] - [Simon Munn](/source/Simon_Munn), wheelchair basketball player[8] - [Fallon Sherrock](/source/Fallon_Sherrock), darts player[citation needed] ## References 1.
