What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 October 2023

Pupils get a fantastic deal at Brocks Hill. They receive a high-quality education across the curriculum, and they benefit from an incredibly rich programme of personal development. Pupils are quite rightly very proud of their school and all the wonderful things they know and can do. The school is run by ardent and dedicated leaders who set the highest goals for every pupil. Staff ensure that pupils reach these aims. Pupils' achievements in all subjects are exceptional. The way the school goes about helping pupils to develop their strength of character is also exceptional. Classrooms are places where learning is cherished. The serene atmosphere that pervades Brocks Hill enables pupils to get the most out of every single lesson. Pupils mirror the attitudes and dispositions of the adults who teach and care for them. Staff are kind, enthusiastic and polite. So too are the pupils - their behaviour is exemplary. A culture of respect has been well and truly established at Brocks Hill. It is a place where pupils feel safe. A place where they can be themselves. One pupil summed this up perfectly by saying, 'I like being able to be me - you can be yourself here.'
