This is fantastic opportunity to work in a school that has just been re-rated “good” by Ofsted (January 2019).
We believe that everyone can achieve. We value diversity and want every student to realise their potential and to recognise that their potential has no limit. We create positive learning spaces, where students and teachers learn together: each challenging the other to get better and better at what they do; each having a voice and being actively supported in the running and decision making of the school.
A sense of “community” is essential to the school and our motto “one community, individual minds, creating futures” embodies this concept. Our community is built on responsibility. It has been built with our students who are responsible for such tangible symbols as their own uniform and a school flag.
Every student in Key Stage 3 completes a day’s community service for the school each year. We have a whole school assembly each term (six weeks) where students perform in front of their peers. We are a visual and performing arts school.
At GCSE, we are both very pleased and proud of our positive Progress 8 score following the 2018 and 2017 results which put us in the top half of all schools in Oxfordshire. Our outcomes in Mathematics are also in line with the national average.
At A-Level we have truly excelled. In 2017, we appeared in the local top five state schools for attainment which is sorted by the Average Point Score (APS) of each candidate. It is to our great credit that we are also in the top five state schools for progress. There was only one state school in the top five in both categories and that was Larkmead School.
