Ofsted
Addington High School is an 11-16 mixed community school with 840 pupils.
School Aims
To improve life chances by raising standards through a relentless focus on improving the quality of teaching and learning.
We want all pupils to both enjoy and achieve through their school experience whilst developing the skills, understanding and personal qualities and confidence that support success in adult life and lifelong learning.
As a medium-sized school, we can offer very good specialist facilities but most importantly provide excellent support and opportunities for each individual.
Staff, particularly Tutors, get to know students well and emphasise their strengths, achievements and capacity to succeed. We give pupils as much responsibility as possible.
We aim to show that each individual is special and in all aspects of work we emphasise a positive, friendly but purposeful approach. Much is achieved through daily welcomes, smiles, humour, ‘thank you’ – full enactment of our Code of Conduct.
