What the school inspection says

Date of report
2022
Verdict *
Good
“Leaders have high expectations of all pupils. They have put in place strong principles that guide school life … [one] is active citizenship. Some pupils demonstrate this through being on the school council or part of a debating club. Students in the sixth form are subject champions and many lead extracurricular activities ... Pupils show positive attitudes towards their learning. There is very little low-level disruption in lessons and it is not tolerated by teachers ... A minority of pupils say that they experience derogatory language from their peers. Leaders have created the ‘Churston Charter’ to address this, specifically around inappropriate sexualised language or harmful sexual behaviours.”
