The school

There Lasted Ofsted Comments:

An exceptional school. It is successful, very popular and has a deservedly good reputation. The Catholic ethos underpins the friendly, purposeful environment and reflects the school’s core mission of ‘Learning through rigour and care’. It is highly effective in providing an inclusive and challenging education where every child is supported and encouraged to do as well as they can. Students have excellent attitudes to learning. Parents are supportive and the overwhelming majority who responded to the parental questionnaire during the inspection recorded their confidence in the school. One parent reflected this by commenting that ‘…the school fosters a ‘can do’ approach in girls and inspires ambition’. Achievement and standards are outstanding.

Students begin school with above average levels of attainment although there is a range of abilities across the school. Standards are well above average at Key Stage 3 and students achieve excellent examination results at GCSE and A Level. Students make outstanding progress overall relative to their starting points including those with learning difficulties and disabilities. St Philomena’s is rightly proud of the exceptional level of care it provides. Care, guidance and support are exemplary. As a result, students’ personal development and spiritual, moral and cultural development are outstanding.
