Dear Parents and Carers,

We are very pleased to share the outcome of our most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place as part of a Section 8 (ungraded) inspection under the Education Act 2005. These inspections are designed to determine whether schools have continued to maintain the standards identified during their previous full inspection.

We are delighted that the inspection confirmed we maintained our standing of Good overall, with our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) remaining Outstanding. This is a wonderful reflection of the hard work, dedication and passion shown by our entire school community – staff, students, trustees, and of course, you – our supportive parents and carers. If you would like to read the full inspection, please find it below. 

We are proud of this achievement and remain fully committed to providing the highest quality of education and care for all our children.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Year 13 students at Caroline Chisholm School gathered this morning to share in the excitement of A-level results day with their friends, family and teachers.

Principal of Caroline Chisholm School, Mr David James, said: "It’s been wonderful to see our students celebrating their well-deserved A-Level results today with their friends, families and teachers. Students have achieved very well in their results, 73% of grades achieved at A Level were A*-C with 36% of students securing a place at Russell Group Universities. Their achievements reflect the dedication and hard work they’ve put in over the past two years, and I am immensely proud of every one of them.”

Assistant Principal with oversight of KS5, Miss Alessandra Cambio, also adds: “I couldn't be prouder of our students’ achievements this year. Each of them has shown remarkable growth, not just academically but also as individuals ready to take on the challenges of the future. I congratulate every one of them on their success and look forward to seeing the incredible things they will accomplish in the next chapter of their lives."

The Sixth Form Team are extremely proud that many of our students have secured, and continue to secure, their first-choice university placements. Early indications reveal that over 60% of our students have successfully achieved their top choices.

We wish all our students the best of luck as they embark on their future pathways, and we look forward to hearing about their achievements in the years to come.

Last Thursday, some of our cadet contingent took part in a parade to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The event was held at Wootton Community Centre, and the cadets marched to the bagpipes and formed a guard of honour for the lighting of the beacon. This all happened in the presence of the Deputy Lord Lieutenant. There were readings from various community representatives and our own Cadet Zach Morley before an act of remembrance took place. The cadets conducted themselves very well, looked extremely smart, and received numerous compliments from members of the public.
