Kenilworth School and Sixth Form

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 November 2023

This school is a centre of excellence for the community of Kenilworth. Pupils do exceptionally well here. They develop a profound knowledge of the subjects they are taught and grow into reflective, resourceful and responsible young adults. Students in the sixth form are true ambassadors for the school. The passion that pupils show for their learning is admirable. In lessons, they focus on the task at hand, and many, particularly students in the sixth form, make the most of free time to further their studies. Pupils' behaviour is praiseworthy. Around the new school site, they move calmly and with purpose, with little need for any intervention from staff. There is a clear culture of mutual respect between all members of the school community. Leaders have worked hard to nurture and maintain this following the COVID-19 pandemic. Pupils feel safe here. If they have any concerns, no matter how small, these are acted on swiftly and quickly resolved. Personal growth is central to leaders' ambitions for pupils. The school's curriculum extends far beyond the academic. For example, through the school's 'green team', pupils have played a central role in designing sustainable elements of the new school building. This work has had a clear impact on pupils and helped to shape their career aspirations.
