As a parent, one of the most important decisions you will have to make is to choose the school for your child. It needs to be the right environment for them, staffed with caring professionals who have a shared positive attitude towards what makes a school exceptional. You will find this, and more, at James Calvert Spence College.

We’ve worked hard as a team to transform our school over the past few years and this ongoing improvement was recognised by Ofsted in June 2022 when we were judged to be a good school – the first time secondary education in this community has ever been rated as good. Ofsted not only judged our overall effectiveness as good, but concluded that we provide a good standard of education in all the categories that form this decision – quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and our sixth form provision are all good. We’re incredibly proud of this achievement because it recognises the transformation that every member of staff and every student has contributed to.
