Parmiter's School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 July 2024

Throughout the school, including the sixth form, pupils thrive. They receive an exceptional standard of education. Not only do pupils achieve high academic success, but they also develop into well rounded, active members of society. This does not happen by chance. Pupils prosper, in large part, because they are so well integrated into the Parmiter's family. The remarkable co-curricular offer, which is an integral part of school life, helps to create this thriving school community. Pupils make significant contributions to their school. Many students volunteer to support their younger peers in lessons. Others run clubs such as the Afro-Caribbean society, where differences are celebrated. This involvement in wider opportunities plays a notable role in enhancing pupils' well- being. They build excellent friendships with their peers and greatly value these high- quality relationships. The school's purposeful 'pursuit of excellence' and academic rigour enables pupils to excel. Pupils quickly learn the skills they require to be successful in their studies. They love completing the challenging work that they are given. Many become accomplished musicians or athletes. Pupils swiftly become disciplined, organised learners. They are active participants in their learning and consistently demonstrate high levels of focus.
