As Headteacher it gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the governors, staff and students to welcome you to Sackville School. 

We are an ambitious school where our motto of ‘Together We Achieve’ permeates everything we do. We believe in every child and work with them so that they can achieve their very best with us, placing great importance on the values of respect, teamwork, equality and above all else, kindness.  

By working together in partnership with families, our students achieve excellent academic results. Progress at GCSE in recent years has been well above the national average and at A Level our students always perform above the expectations set by the Government. 

Consistently high standards of teaching, high expectations, working together, wellbeing, safeguarding and better than expected progress for all students, each play a key role in our success. We are extremely proud of the progress our students make academically and they go on to a wide range of ambitious avenues across employment, university, degree-level apprenticeships and more. 

However, our school is about much more than that. There is a strong community ethos where individuals are truly valued. By providing a happy, safe and stimulating learning environment our students flourish through mutual respect and a strong desire to succeed. 

Our excellent pastoral care, through our five communities, build strong partnerships with families and the wider community to complement our carefully developed curriculum. Our communities are our small schools within a school; where every child is known and seen, making sure that every child feels an integral and valued part of our school community. You can find out more about this vital component of our school across our website. 

Our broad and balanced curriculum includes a wide array of subjects throughout the school as well as such things as British values and equality through our Learning for Life programme. We are committed to going the extra mile to support each and every student, their safety, personal development, health and wellbeing are of paramount importance to us. 

We believe in providing a comprehensive, varied and exciting extra-curricular and enrichment curriculum to complement academic learning. Sackville students enjoy a wide variety of trips, visits, clubs, guest speakers, careers advice and guidance, alongside leadership opportunities, ensuring they leave us as well-rounded, responsible citizens who will not only be the future but will have the skills, attributes and confidence to help create it. 

Following our most recent Ofsted Inspection (2024), inspectors commented that “The school is ambitious for all pupils to enjoy learning and achieve highly” and the school has a “Sharp focus on pupils’ well-being, with the five ‘Communities’ being at the heart.” We believe these sum up our school perfectly and were pleased to receive the outcome that we continued to be a ‘Good’ school. 

We have a large, active and high achieving Sixth Form which is a real asset to our school. Sixth Form students play an important and active role in supporting younger students, running clubs, leading student voice groups and being ambassadors for the school in everything they do, both within the school and in the wider community.  

Our dedicated team of staff believe that there are no barriers to learning that cannot be overcome. They work tirelessly to instil the belief in each student that they can achieve more than they ever thought possible and always look to reward hard work, good behaviour and engagement in school life.  

We hope that you will enjoy coming back to our website frequently and follow us on our Instagram and Facebook accounts to keep up to date with exciting news and developments. You can also see more news on our website.
