Bentley Wood High School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 November 2023

Pupils develop into confident and caring young people at this school. The school sets high expectations for both behaviour and achievement. Pupils demonstrate exceptional behaviour and focus well in the classroom. They are respectful towards each other and their teachers, and understand the importance of positive attitudes. This is underpinned by the school's values of CARE: communication, achievement, respect and empathy, which are embraced by the school community. Pupils feel safe at this school. They are confident that teachers would respond if an issue were to be raised and that bullying is rare. Pupils, including those students in the sixth form, achieve incredibly well. GCSE results in 2023 were exceptional. The wide range of subjects available to pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), gives them the opportunity to follow their interests. Pupils benefit from many opportunities to do well and enjoy their time at school. Pupils are encouraged to be expressive and creative through the curriculum and through wider opportunities. They regularly contribute to school life through the many activities available during lunchtime and after school, including netball, slam poetry and a rock band.
