Academic standards
The school was awarded specialist status in Languages in 1999.
The November 2007 Ofsted Report rated Ian Ramsey school as "good". The inspectors said "This is a good school. Standards are above average and students’ achievement is good... Some aspects of the school’s work are outstanding... The personal development of students is outstanding and a significant strength of school life".[2]
In March 2011, Ofsted Report again rated the school as "good".[3]
In May 2014, the school was placed into special measures.[4]
In October 2017, the school was rated good by Ofsted report
Awards
In February 2001, Ian Ramsey was accorded Charter Mark status.[1]
The school was awarded Artsmark Silver in August 2008.[5]
In March 2004, Simon Keay, 16, won the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Award.[6]
Building Schools for the Future
The Building Schools for the Future Project investment programme aimed to rebuild or renew nearly every secondary school in England.[7] Ian Ramsey had asked that they rebuild on their current site, instead of moving to a new site.[8] Primary schools across Stockton in Year 6 presented their ideas to Ian Ramsey staff of what they see in a secondary school.[9]
Due to cuts in government spending, Building Schools For The Future Project is no longer active and the majority of proposed rebuilds have now been scrapped.
In May 2013, the go-ahead for the current school to be replaced with a brand new one was given.[10]
Students and staff moved into the new building in September 2014.
Durham Lesotho Link
For a number of years now Ian Ramsey has been working with a project called the Durham Lesotho Link, where staff and pupils raise money for schools and orphanages in Lesotho. There have been staff and student visits to the country during which the students visited a local school just outside the capital Maseru and worked with a children's orphanage.[11]
