Invicta Grammar School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 April 2024

This is an exceptional school where pupils flourish. Staff are highly ambitious for pupils' learning. All pupils benefit from a rigorous curriculum that is expertly taught. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are polite, courteous and focus diligently during lessons. Pupils frequently work collaboratively, reflecting their understanding of how they should support each other's learning. Equally, their resilience and ability to work independently are carefully fostered by teachers to ensure pupils are ready for the next stage of their education. All pupils benefit from extensive opportunities beyond the academic curriculum. The 'Personal Opportunity Programme' significantly enriches pupils' experience of school. The vast range of clubs, activities and societies ensure interests are nurtured across sporting, artistic, political, charitable and academic themes. Music is a particular strength of the school. Pupils love to practise and perform in the numerous choirs and in a rich array of ensembles. Pupils are rightly proud to attend this school. They feel safe, knowing that staff listen to them and support their pastoral needs. Pupils, along with students in the sixth form, are comprehensively prepared for their futures and life in modern Britain. They value the exciting 'Power Days', where they learn about different cultures, social issues and global issues or develop understanding about their next steps. The school works with many visitors, companies and organisations to ensure pupils are thoroughly informed about future study and career opportunities.
