Staff strive relentlessly to meet the school’s extraordinarily high expectation to raise aspiration and enable pupils to realise their potential, regardless of background or need. The school’s curriculum is especially well planned to fulfil this ambition. Staff teach this curriculum carefully, skilfully and highly effectively. As a result, pupils learn extremely well, including those who are disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They are exceptionally well-prepared for the next stage of their education.

    Student Success Stories

    Hear from our Class of 2024 as they reflected on their journey through Penrice on GCSE Results Day.

    Ms Coleman: "The cohort of 2024 embraced the rich variety of extra-curricular opportunities, trips, subject options, long-standing school traditions, leadership opportunities and fundraising activities that are offered at Penrice. All of these experiences have taught them life lessons that cannot be exclusively taught inside a classroom – life lessons that will truly help them to succeed in their exciting futures ahead! We wish our Class of 2024 all the best on their next great adventure!"
