Bishop Thomas Grant RC School

Bishop Thomas Grant School is an over-subscribed, co-educational Catholic school. Our inclusive and caring ethos means that students feel safe and valued. Teaching staff are respected by students and management and as a result staff retention and moral is high.

As a Catholic School our shared beliefs and values underpin all that we do. We encourage each student to develop their spirituality, and we enable them to continue to grow in their faith and mature into fine young people. Our students have a clear understanding of our values and live by our motto, ‘To unite all things in Christ’.

Academically, Bishop Thomas Grant School is a very successful school, gaining an ‘Outstanding’ grading in all categories (including our sixth form) from our most recent Ofsted inspection. Our progress 8 score is exceptional. The school’s ethos strives to educate the whole person both academically and spiritually. This is achieved through an offer of engaging subjects and extra-curricular activities and because of this we have a reputation in the borough for academic excellence where students achieve irrespective of their starting point. We firmly believe that every student has the potential to succeed in life.

To guarantee this the school continues to evolve and adapt, ensuring that our students develop the core skills required to move on to higher education and employment, and to confidently take their place in society.

Teaching and learning is at the core of the school. We have a rigorous CPD programme for continued professional excellence and have a large teaching and learning team to support this. Our excellent teachers know their students well and are well-supported to ensure that their learning is personalised.

Bishop Thomas Grant School is a happy place for both students and staff. We welcome visits before application.
