Wallington County Grammar School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 November 2022

This is a school that has a strong sense of community and very high expectations. Staff and pupils are proud to be part of the school. Pupils leave very well prepared for the next stage of their lives. Leaders have created a culture in which pupils relish supporting others. Pupils run clubs and events for younger pupils, lead charity week and volunteer in a local special school. Of particular note are the Junior Safeguarding Leaders. This group of pupils supports other schools to consider how to address sexual harassment, abuse and violence. Pupils are respectful towards others. Bullying is rare, and when it happens staff deal with it quickly and fairly. Pupils explained how they feel safe and are accepted by others. They said, 'There is space for everyone and the opportunity to create your own space.' Pupils support this through leading events and clubs, for example Black History Month events and diversity club. Girls are admitted into the sixth form and take part in all aspects of school life. Girls are extremely positive about their experience. They are mentored by older girls during their first year in the sixth form. In lessons, teachers take care to include them in all activities.
