Leaders, staff, pupils and students have worked together to make North Bromsgrove High School a better place to work and learn in. They have been successful. The school’s ‘CARE’ values of ‘community, aspiration, respect and endeavour’ have been at the heart of their work. One parent summed this up, commenting, ‘We have been delighted to witness both our son and his school develop together over the last five years.’ Most pupils attend happily, work with their teachers productively and are keen to learn. This is reflected in a calm and orderly culture, which helps pupils to feel safe. Leaders have maintained their high expectations of pupils’ behaviour following the pandemic restrictions. Staff enforce these expectations fairly and consistently. Staff give help to pupils who struggle with their behaviour, and they are not simply sanctioned. Staff do not tolerate bullying. It does occasionally happen in school; however, staff resolve issues quickly. Pupils and staff do not accept racist, homophobic or misogynistic language. Pupils and students benefit from a breadth of extra-curricular programmes, and many take part. The school musical is an integral part of this. In addition, staff run many clubs, trips and house competitions and activities. These range from designing a prom dress to the French tongue-twister challenge.
