Bishop Thomas Grant Catholic Secondary School Bishop Thomas Grant Roman Catholic School Belltrees Grove London SW16 2HY Headmaster Mr Louis Desa BSc (Hons) PGCE Bishop Thomas Grant is an 11–18 Catholic co-educational school. A specialist maths and computing school. School aims The school aims to enable all students placed in our care to develop their potential to the full in a school environment firmly founded on Christian principles. We produce academic attainment in the context of equality of opportunity and Catholic spiritual and moral values. Ofsted/Diocese inspections Bishop Thomas Grant School was recently inspected by Ofsted and the Diocese who both recognised that the school provides a very good education for its pupils and has many outstanding features. Quotes from the inspectors: • The headmaster of Bishop Thomas Grant School is outstanding as a Catholic leader and manager. Through his passion for and commitment to Catholic education he promotes a strong and clear vision and direction for the school as a Catholic community. • Attainment and progress in English and Mathematics and many other subjects are significantly above the national average. • The behaviour and safety of students are outstanding. • The quality of the Catholic life of the school and the provision for pastoral care is outstanding. • A distinctive feature of the school is the equal importance placed on the academic and personal development of all students. • Students develop into wellrounded individuals, with a real sense of community, responsibility and the confidence that they can succeed. • Opportunities for spiritual, moral, social and cultural education are outstanding and as a consequence, students report that they enjoy a school where they are ‘safe, happy and able to learn’. There is a very special ethos in the school. Quotes from parents: “I could not have chosen a better school for my children.” “I greatly appreciate the environment, which is not only conducive for education, but also mental, physical and spiritual growth.” “A great school, a great headteacher and fantastic teachers.” “There are many extra-curricular opportunities to enhance learning.” Expectations/other information Bishop Thomas Grant School has high expectations for its students and demands high standards of work and behaviour. Our code of conduct states what is expected of each student. Conduct is based on the Christian values of courtesy, respect, service and unselfishness both inside and outside school and students are expected to reflect these standards in their daily routine, their uniform and their personal appearance. Regardless of ability, all students are encouraged to work hard to develop their potential and make use of their strengths and abilities. We use a variety of rewards to celebrate students’ successes and we believe strongly that they learn when they feel valued and their achievements are recognised. Learning is a privilege and a right. The school community will, therefore, not tolerate any behaviour which disrupts students’ learning. 18 SECTION 2 / SCHOOLS
