Ofsted
Following our Ofsted Inspection in February 2026 we are thrilled that Christ’s has been recognised for our high standards and incredible outcomes in all areas. The strong standard marks out excellent, consistent work that’s making a real difference for our children and learners and we are very proud that 6 out of the 7 grades were at this very high standard. This is testament to the hard work and commitment of everyone at Christ’s School.
The inspection captured exactly what it feels like to be a member of Christ's family, and recognised the extent to which each and every staff member and student is valued, developed and celebrated. This report shows the incredible journey we are on, and the report and feedback meetings recognised the actions that we are taking to offer our community a first class education. We are particularly proud of our sixth form, referred to in the formal feedback meeting as ‘the sparkling jewel in Christ’s crown’.
“Pupils thrive at this school”
“The curriculum is ambitious, broad and balanced”
“Pastoral support is highly responsive to pupils’ circumstances and needs. This helps to foster a ‘family’ environment, where pupils feel a strong sense of belonging.”
“The post-16 curriculum is broad and ambitious. It combines academic and combined pathways, and is expertly delivered.”
“Pupils speak with pride about contributing to school life.”
