Message from the Headteacher

Dear Parents and Carers,

If you select Lord Grey School for your child, you are choosing a successful inclusive foundation school with high aspirations for your sons and daughters.

Students achieved our best ever GCSE results in 2008 and our most recent Ofsted report commented:

"Students approach their education in a calm and purposeful manner. They are respectful of each other and contribute well to the community."

Plus:

  • We have fully established and nationally recognised specialist status in Languages with state of the art learning facilities to enable students to compete in the UK, Europe and beyond
  • We are developing a second specialism in English, Citizenship and Drama
  • A second specialism in English, Drama and Citizenship
  • We are currently benefitting from a £7.5 million improvement programme to upgrade our learning and student facilities
  • We are keen to keep you informed and involved in school life through our Weekly Newsletter and developing Parents' Association

We want students at Lord Grey School to enjoy school and engage purposefully in their learning in a caring environment. We will prepare them fully to take on their roles successfully in higher education, at work and as citizens. Our teachers will help students extend their skills and knowledge by making clear the learning outcomes of every lesson and by explaining homework carefully. Assessment is regular through examinations, tests and careful marking. Lord Grey teachers will help students reflect on what they have learnt and set targets for future learning.

I look forward to meeting you.


Jill Coughlan CBE
Headteacher
