About Polwhele House School

Since then the school has grown further and moving towards GCSE in 2027 welcomes it's first Year 9 class in September 2024.
Polwhele House is based in a historic manor house, within 32 acres of gardens, playing fields, park, and woodland.

In addition, it aims to foster strong moral values within a Christian framework and equip pupils in the broadest sense for the next stage of their education.
ISI report
“Throughout the school, pupils are articulate and composed, displaying very high speaking and listening skills. An established feature of the lessons is that pupils regularly enjoy the challenge of thinking deeply and reasoning with each other, the teacher and with set tasks. From this, they are able to put together a strong case to support their own thoughts as well as to respectfully question others, including the teacher if required.”
