Parliament Hill School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 May 2024

This school is driven by its ethos to support all pupils to be 'high achieving and happy'. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are exceptionally well supported. Staff know pupils well and have very high expectations for them. The school provides an ambitious curriculum, where pupils develop secure subject knowledge. Pupils achieve highly, including in national examinations, and are fully prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training. Sixth-form students benefit from the wide range of A-level and vocational courses on offer within a consortium with three other schools. They are encouraged to take on leadership responsibility and to act as positive role models for younger pupils. Teachers build strong relationships with pupils, which allows them to thrive and enjoy their education. Pupils conduct themselves well in lessons and around the school. The school has created an inclusive culture where pupils are taught to respect and celebrate difference. Bullying is rare and pupils are kept safe. The school provides a wide range of opportunities to develop pupils' character. These include fundraising activities, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and acting as student ambassadors. Pupils, and students in the sixth form, are confident to debate complex issues such as exploring climate change.
