Simon Langton Girls' Grammar School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 September 2023

There is an exceptionally strong sense of community and connection evident at Simon Langton Girls' Grammar. Pupils of all ages understand the roles they play in contributing to a happy and successful school. They are tolerant, inclusive and celebrate difference. Sixth-form students talk positively about being role models for younger pupils, as 'Head Students', 'Prefects' and 'Form Guardians'. Students value these opportunities, not just because they allow them to work with and support younger members of their community, but because they remember looking up to these figures themselves, when they began their school careers. These embedded structures and relationships typify the school culture here, and are as a result of strong modelling by staff. Behaviour in the school is especially calm and settled as a result of these strong relationships across the school. At social times, pupils mix well and conduct themselves calmly. The school has high expectations for all its pupils, both in terms of what they can achieve academically but also in developing their wider selves and what they can then contribute to the world beyond school. Pupils have a significant voice here, and they are empowered to establish groups, societies and clubs that hold their interests.
