Ofsted report
“Leaders have developed an ambitious curriculum. They have identified the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn. The curriculum structure enables pupils to build on what they already know. There is academic rigour for all pupils. More pupils now continue to follow a strong academic curriculum, which includes a language and a humanities subject, into key stage 4. A few pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) follow a different curriculum to their peers. This curriculum is well matched to Inspection report: Bishop Fox's School 29 and 30 March 2023 2 pupils’ individual needs and future aspirations. Teachers and the SEND department support and challenge pupils with SEND to make the best possible progress.”
