Feedback from Ofsted and SIAMS

“Leaders are committed to all pupils becoming successful and active citizens. The school celebrates diversity and meets the needs of all pupils. Many pupils and staff told inspectors, ‘We are proud to be a part of the Blue Coat family.”

“Leaders have constructed a curriculum which is ambitious and meets the needs of all pupils. Lessons are well planned and sequenced in a logical order. This helps pupils to build on knowledge over time. Lessons also include an appropriate focus on careers, training and apprenticeships. This enables pupils to gain knowledge and skills for future learning and employment.”  Ofsted 2023

Students in all years are effusive about their enjoyment of their lessons. They appreciate the breadth of religions that they study and the respect that is shown for all belief systems and worldviews.” SIAMs 2023
