School Description

Leaders have high expectations of pupils. They expect pupils to be committed to their education and behave well. Pupils consistently rise to these expectations. Parents speak positively of the education and care their children receive. They are grateful for leaders’ high expectations. Pupils are happy and safe. When bullying occurs, the school takes swift and effective action. However, a small minority of pupils are not confident to raise concerns about themselves or others or to talk about things that worry them. Pupils enjoy their learning and are proud of the work they produce. They are motivated to learn the ambitious curriculum which leaders have planned. The absence of low-level disruption makes a strong contribution to effective teaching across the curriculum. Pupils receive effective careers information, advice and guidance. This, too, develops pupils’ motivation and aspirations for the future. Staff provide an extensive extra-curricular programme. For example, pupils can learn about journalism and robotics, improve their rock-climbing skills or play in a jazz band. Pupils and parents appreciate the wide range of opportunities available.

"> My daughter is in year 11 at PHS and my son has just finished and is off to University soon. Both my children have been very happy at the school and the teaching and support they have received has been excellent. The school has a fantastic atmosphere and fabulous facilities and cannot praise it enough.
