What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 November 2021
Pupils at Beverley High School are proud of their school and its heritage. Pupils benefit from the school's desire for every pupil to be involved in an ambitious curriculum, in and out of the classroom. This enables pupils to reach their full potential. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. This allows teachers to teach and focus on learning. Pupils are respectful, polite and articulate. They attend well, are prompt to lessons and are quick to focus on their work. This means that pupils learn exceptionally well, achieve highly in examinations and leave school very well prepared for life in modern Britain. Leaders have very high expectations in all they do. They lead by example and always put the interests of pupils first. Relationships between staff and pupils are excellent. Pupils have no concerns about bullying and know who to speak to if they require support. The ideas of pupils are listened to and acted upon. The academic sixth form offers an ambitious, relevant and well-planned curriculum. Sixth form students are strong role models for younger pupils. Staff offer pupils over forty clubs and activities across all year groups. The vast majority of pupils are involved with this varied and rich extra-curricular offer.
