Tolworth Girls' School and Sixth Form

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 September 2023

Pupils enjoy being part of this school community. Pupils' welfare and specific needs are looked after with the utmost care. Leaders are committed to being mindful of pupils' mental health, with the school taking on a lead role in a cluster of schools in the support of pupils' emotional well-being. The school has high ambitions for its pupils, and pupils aspire to meet these. For example, pupils express complex ideas through well-written extended pieces of work. These ambitions extend to pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), whose needs are well considered and provided for. The school has an exceptional personal development programme in place. A wide range of extra-curricular activities are on offer, such as drone club and trips that boost pupils' cultural understanding. The school has embedded a programme that presents key issues to pupils as they are growing up, known as the 'Tolworth Way'. The school has established high expectations for pupils' behaviour, which teachers uphold fairly and consistently. Pupils understand the value of meeting these expectations, and classrooms are a calm learning environment. Leaders are sharply attuned to bullying risks, and when any rare incidents are reported, these are dealt with effectively.
