Values and vision

St Birinus School expects its teachers to set high standards for behaviour, uniform and equipment. Staff carefully plan activities that will engage students of all aptitudes and abilities. They instil in students a spirit of enquiry and genuine curiosity about the world around them.

The secondary school has a wide range of activities for students to embrace, including teams, bands, clubs and productions for pupils of all abilities, aptitudes and interests. From weightlifting to Warhammer (both of which are extremely popular), there is something for everyone.

Ofsted report

“Most pupils are confident about whether they are on track to achieve their target grade and if not what they need to do to improve… Pupils are safe and well cared for in the school. There are good procedures in place and policies are regularly reviewed; record-keeping is comprehensive and all staff training is up to date.

Governors are also appropriately trained and knowledgeable about safeguarding, meeting regularly with school staff so that they have good oversight of the procedures and practices in place.”
