Introduction
Stockwell Park High School is a
mixed Academy with specialisms in
Business and Enterprise and Training.
We were designated `Outstanding' by
Ofsted in 2006 and 2008. We are
also a member of the Leading Edge
programme, a national network
of high-performing schools. In
2011, 72% of our pupils achieved
GCSE grades A*–C in English and
Mathematics, with 75% achieving five
GCSE grades at A*–C or equivalent.
Transformation opportunities
“Students appreciate and enjoy the
rich range of opportunities available
to them.” Ofsted 2006
There is an exceptionally strong
school ethos and we are proud of
the way our specialisms permeate all
aspects of school life. Our pupils are
expected to demonstrate enterprise
capability through decision-making,
leadership, managing risk and
problem-solving. Ample
opportunities exist for pupils to
develop these skills, both within the
timetabled curriculum and beyond,
through our extensive Academies
Programme. Visitors to the school
often comment on the calm,
purposeful and well-ordered
atmosphere.
Educational environment
We have an outstanding new
building, with excellent facilities
including state of the art ICT suites,
Science Laboratories and a new
sports hall, built and equipped to
Sport England standards. The
building was designed for yearbased
learning on the small `school
within a school' model with many
opportunities for personalised
learning and close pupil support.
Academic development
“Achievement in literacy and
numeracy is outstanding.” Ofsted
Every child who enters Stockwell
Park High School should be aiming
high because we will have high
expectations of him/her. By providing
a very broad curriculum tailored to
pupils' individual needs, together
with high-quality teaching, we expect
our pupils to build on their
achievements from primary school
and fulfil their potential. As a Training
School, we actively encourage the
professional development of staff,
enabling the school to stay at the
forefront of educational progress.
