Kendrick School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 November 2022

Pupils and sixth formers are justly proud of their school community. They delight in their learning and truly excel here. One parent spoke for many when reflecting, 'The school does a great job of creating well-rounded, kind, human beings who will hopefully go on to make the world a better place. The academic results are important of course, but far from the only focus.' Inspectors totally agree. Passionate and inspiring senior leadership underpins the shared high aspirations and first-rate academic standards at Kendrick. The highly dedicated team of staff support all pupils to benefit from the rich academic curriculum, enriched with a dazzling array of experiences and clubs. Pupils respond to teachers' very high expectations. They enthusiastically engage in debate and discussion and immerse themselves in all that the curriculum offers. They become confident independent learners, achieve exceptionally well and are very well prepared to become exemplary citizens. The Kendrick Pledge emphasises friendship, kindness, respect, equality, tolerance and justice, and these values underpin all that the school achieves. Pupils flourish in this exceptionally caring and inclusive learning environment. Secure, trusting relationships between staff and pupils ensure pupils feel very well supported and safe here. In turn, pupils' excellent behaviour and impeccable manners make Kendrick a very special place to be.
