What the school inspection says

Date of report
2022
Verdict *
Good
“Camden School for Girls is a calm, caring place where pupils aim high. Leaders encourage pupils to live up to the school’s motto, ‘Onwards and upwards’. Pupils said that they feel valued and show that they value others. They enjoy school and appreciate the diversity of their school community and its heritage. Leaders provide a range of extracurricular activities for pupils to choose from. In a few subject areas, staff do not carefully check what pupils have learned. As a result, teaching does not routinely address gaps in knowledge or the next steps in pupils’ learning. Pupils are taught about healthy and unhealthy relationships in an age-appropriate way. Pupils enjoy theology lessons where they explore different world religions and challenge their own beliefs. Leaders have a structured careers programme in place.”
