A prospectus has been requested for you
The recent visit of OFSTED to the Alcuin School highlighted the school’s strengths as: pupils attain high standards by age 11 and do well in competitive examinations; pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is very good; the curriculum is broad and enriched by a good range of extra-curricular activities, visits and visitors; and the accommodation is spacious and attractive. Good use is made of specialist facilities.
The report also said, ‘Moral education is an aspect of the pupils’ development upon which the school places considerable emphasis. Pupils are given close guidance on how to establish and maintain good interpersonal relationships. There is a strong emphasis on respect and courtesy for all as in some very thoughtful, good quality writing in Years 5 and 6.
The pupils’ social development is good. They are expected and encouraged to respect and behave well towards each other, their teachers and other adults about the school. The pupils respond well to these expectations.
Pupils delight in the achievements of others through, for example, the awards ceremonies during the school assemblies. They work and play well together, and co-operate happily in small groups. They show an ability to understand the needs of others and opportunities are periodically provided for activities to raise money for national medical and other charities. Pupils have to engage socially with other pupils from different schools through many competitive sporting activities and a wide and impressive range of chess tournaments.
Pupils are very aware of cultural diversity within the world around them and they are provided with numerous opportunities for exploring their own cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different traditions. This is a strength of the school’s ethos and curriculum.’
The Alcuin School was recently awarded a Distinction by the National Teaching Awards in the Healthy Schools category for its promotion of good health and diet to pupils.
Your next step is to visit the school. Please telephone the secretary on 0113 2691176 or email us on alcuin@legend.co.uk. We look forward to seeing you.
