King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 November 2023

A desire to learn pervades daily life for pupils at Camp Hill Boys. Pupils and staff contribute to a culture of the highest expectations; everyone wants to be the best they can be. Pupils make the most of their learning, in and beyond lessons. They are highly engaged, asking questions to deepen their own understanding. Their motivation extends to the way they study independently, often exploring personal areas of academic interest through the 'super-curricular' offer. Many pupils thrive in this culture of scholarship. This is why they make such excellent progress. The school's ethos is inclusive and respectful. Pupils know they are valued for who they are and who they want to become. They manage themselves impressively well; social times are lively and pleasant, because pupils get on well and choose to contribute to the positive culture. Pupils value the many enrichment opportunities on offer, and lead some of them themselves. In addition to the extensive sports offer, many pupils partake of the many musical options available. They enjoy contributing to the school's assembly programme. Year 7 pupils appreciate the summer school that helps them to settle in quickly when they start. Sixth form students are keen to support younger pupils as subject mentors.
