School Description

This is a safe, happy and ambitious school. Wapping High School was founded with the intention that pupils would benefit from being in a small school. This vision has been realised and maintained. Staff know their pupils very well. This helps pupils to feel safe and cared for. Pupils appreciate the opportunities that the school gives them, including the coaching programme, which helps them grow in confidence. A wide range of trips and activities, some as far away as India and Costa Rica, broaden pupils’ horizons. Leaders make sure that these opportunities are available to all pupils. Pupils behave well around the school. They listen to teachers and to each other. Kindness is one of the school’s core values. Pupils and staff demonstrate this every day. Pupils benefit from a carefully considered curriculum which is broad and balanced. Leaders make sure that this curriculum is accessed by all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils who are at the early stages of learning English receive additional support to help them access the same lessons as their peers. Pupils are prepared well for their next steps in education or training.
