Thursday 21st November 2024 with presentation by Head of Sixth Form - Meg Knott

Larkmead Open Mornings - Wednesday 2nd October, 9th October, 16th October and 23rd October from 9am to 10:30

We look forward to welcoming children and families to our Open Mornings to share our school with you.

Our recent Ofsted visit was our third Good inspection in a row. The report highlights Larkmead’s high aspirations, expectations, ethos and culture, alongside our strengths in behaviour, careers education, curriculum, leadership, pastoral care, personal development, safeguarding, sixth form and teaching & learning. 

 

• This school is a very happy and inclusive place because, as one parent said, pupils ‘are at the heart of what Larkmead does’.
• Pupils are polite and respectful with staff and each other.
• Pupils feel safe and ‘seen’ here.
• Pupils are very clear that the school does not tolerate bullying or prejudicial behaviour.
• The school’s caring ethos ensures it maintains its high expectations, both academically and personally, while also continuing to provide strong support to pupils.
• The school is aspirational for all pupils academically.
• Staff manage behaviour very effectively, through clear expectations and positive relationships with pupils.
• Most pupils behave extremely well, both in lessons and during social time.
• Sixth-form students are excellent role models.

 

We are as every grateful for the support of parents, reflected in the Ofsted Parent Survey.

To discover what makes Larkmead a happy, successful school and to meet our students and staff, please book a tour.
