We were judged as being a ‘Good’ school in all categories.

This is an improvement on our previous judgement of ‘Requires Improvement’ and is the first time that JCSC (or Coquet High School) has ever been rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted. We are absolutely delighted with this outcome which is a true reflection of the hard work and dedication from all members of our school community.
