Outstanding
“Pupils at Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School are proud of their vibrant school and the education they receive. Due to the rich range of opportunities on offer, pupils excel and develop ‘inspiration and excellence’ in line with the school’s vision … Pupils appreciate the respectful and warm relationships they have with the staff … There is an explicit determination to ensure that all pupils learn a rich, well-rounded and high-quality education which equips them to thrive in life. In this, leaders have placed the English Baccalaureate subjects at its heart. For example, all pupils study two modern foreign languages at Key Stage 3, and this offer has been enriched through the successful introduction of Mandarin Chinese.”
