Sir John Nelthorpe School

At Sir John Nelthorpe School we aim to stimulate the curiosity and imagination of our pupils by providing a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum. The activities and tasks set for pupils are matched to their abilities so that they can achieve their full potential and become valued citizens in this rapidly changing world.The teaching and learning environment is welcoming and has at its heart a partnership between staff, pupils and parents, which aims to support effective learning, good order, discipline and mutual respect.In our most recent full inspection report (October 2023), Ofsted said:"The school celebrates the importance of being strong and faithful in everything the pupils do. Pupils model these values through their positive behaviours in school....Pupils are polite and respectful to all members of the school community....The school has high expectations for all pupils. They have carefully planned the curriculum to build pupils' knowledge over time...The school takes pride in developing pupils' experiences beyond the academic curriculum."We are very proud of the achievements of this school, but we are not complacent. We continue to strive to be the very best we can be. The pupils and students at Sir John Nelthorpe School deserve no less.This is a school with success at its heart. Our motto is "Fortis et Fidelis", and we endeavour to uphold these values in everything we do, every single day.Mr R Biglands, Headteacher
