What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils are exceptionally well supported to succeed at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School. Leaders' ambition for pupils to develop both academically and socially and to 'learn without limits' is fully realised. Pupils are ambitious for what they can achieve, and staff encourage this through high expectations. One parent, expressing the views of many, described the school as being 'an empowering environment for girls'. The school has designed a broad and ambitious curriculum. As a result, pupils develop secure subject knowledge. They achieve very strong examination results in a wide range of subjects. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do equally well. This is because teachers are skilful practitioners who make well-considered adaptations for these pupils. Across the school, behaviour and conduct is exemplary. Pupils are polite and courteous, demonstrating highly positive attitudes to their learning. Pupils are happy and kept safe. This is because staff and pupils share highly respectful relationships, which creates a culture where all are valued. Pupils are highly supportive of their peers and are excellent ambassadors, keen to contribute to the wider life of the school. They seize every opportunity to participate in the wide range of extra-curricular opportunities on offer through the school's 'super curriculum'.
