St Augustine's Catholic High School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 April 2024

Pupils are, rightly, proud to attend this excellent school. They meet its high expectations, excelling academically and flourishing into well-rounded individuals. The curriculum reflects the high aspirations that leaders have for all pupils to grow and develop as young people. It is thoughtfully designed to match pupils' interests and needs. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared for their future. Students in the sixth form benefit greatly from the comprehensive study programmes they follow. Pupils love learning and their attitudes to it are impressive. They have high expectations of themselves and aspire to learn well. Pupils are kind, empathetic and polite towards each other. Pupils are very well supported by staff. For instance, the carefully designed provision for pupils who struggle with their mental health is exceptional. There is a strong culture of tolerance and inclusion. Pupils' learning is enriched by a wide range of extra-curricular experiences that extend beyond the academic curriculum. For example, pupils take part in high-quality musical and sporting activities which enhance their character development. This work is carefully constructed to allow pupils and students to contribute increasingly to the life of the school and wider community.
