At Wymondham College there is a palpable sense of aspiration. Pupils from all backgrounds flourish. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) get excellent support. Pupils new to the school or sixth form immediately understand and engage with the ethos. Consequently, pupils achieve exceptionally well. Pupils benefit from a high-quality curriculum. From the start of key stage 3, they rapidly build up what they know. Students in the sixth form go on to ambitious destinations. Pupils articulate a rich understanding of their subjects. Expectations for behaviour are high and established throughout the school. Older pupils model responsible conduct for younger ones. Boarders and day pupils alike live and breathe the school's values of pride, passion and positivity. They show considerable enthusiasm for learning. Respect and kindness are embedded in the safe culture. In all year groups, pupils are courteous and confident. There is a huge range of opportunities. Pupils enthuse about the quality of these. There are clubs for all, such as music, debating, martial arts and gardening. Pupils compete at high-level sporting events. They start and run many of the enrichment activities.
