Values and vision
Sir Jonathan North Community College aims for its students to achieve the highest possible academic and personal standards, and for them to gain a breadth of knowledge, experience, and skills. The school wants students to respect and support others as well as develop self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-awareness. One of the ways in which it wishes to achieve these things is by having a broad curriculum.
Ofsted
“Teachers provide activities that challenge students, including disabled students and those who have special educational needs, to learn extremely well in lessons and make rapid progress. The school’s areas of specialism, including visual arts, science and mathematics and applied learning, promote particularly high attainment in the visual arts. Students’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development is outstanding. There is a relentless pursuit of excellence by the headteacher, senior leaders and governors.”
