The Davenport School
Catchment Area, Exam Results and Reviews

This is a happy school where friendships count. Pupils feel safe here. They are proud of their work and happy to share it with visitors. Staff set a high bar for pupils’ academic success and for their behaviour. Pupils know this and respond positively, even when their anxieties are high and self-confidence is in short supply. Behaviour is not perfect here, but most of the time it is truly impeccable. Developing pupils’ self-esteem and sense of self-worth underpins everything the school does. This impacts very positively on pupils’ attitudes to learning and on their broader development. Pupils are keen to get into classrooms in the morning to learn new things and to share their opinions. Because of this positive approach and the resolute determination of staff, pupils’ achievements and progress through the curriculum are impressive. Parents and carers are positive about the school. Some reported that the school has had a life-changing impact on their children. This is because their children are developing trusting relationships and thriving here. Importantly, pupils understand that respect for others is a value worth having. They also know that having high ambitions for themselves is equally important.
