Tomlinscote School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 November 2023

Pupils flourish at this exceptional school. They are highly ambitious for themselves and each other. The school provides support, care and guidance to ensure that success is possible for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All pupils are expected to achieve highly, and they do. Alongside their academic success, pupils develop a rich understanding of the world and their place in it. The school's core values of excellence, perseverance, character, community and progression are lived out every day. Pupils are confident that they are listened to. They learn that they can affect positive change, which prepares them well to be active, engaged citizens. The school is an inclusive community in which difference is valued and discrimination is not tolerated. Staff and pupils have warm relationships founded on respect and a love of learning. Pupils eagerly explain how the school's extensive and well- considered curriculum helps them pursue their dreams as an engineer, doctor, athlete, artist, or something else. The abundance of wider opportunities enables pupils to discover new interests, such as the use of green power through the 'Race Team' club or knowledge of different cultures through roles as international ambassadors.
