Pupils relish learning at Scott College. They embrace the many opportunities to learn about a range of subjects in depth. For example, pupils visit the local hospital to observe the work of nurses, doctors and paramedics. Visitors to the school also enrich pupils’ understanding of science and its application in medicine and healthcare. Pupils are highly appreciative of these opportunities. Many pupils told inspectors how these extra-curricular events helped them to understand complex scientific concepts. Parents in the online questionnaire, Parent View, were overwhelmingly positive about the quality of education at the school. One parent’s comment echoed the views of others, ‘Fabulous school that is run by fantastic staff’. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary both in lessons and around the school. Pupils are kind, courteous and supportive. Pupils told inspectors that bullying is extremely rare and staff deal with it immediately. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive tailored support. Leaders and staff ensure that such pupils receive appropriate social, emotional and academic support. Consequently, pupils with SEND thrive at this school. Leaders and staff prioritise raising the aspirations and expectations of disadvantaged pupils. The curriculum enables such pupils to understand the link between academic achievements and success in the future workplace.
