St Gabriel’s School

The curriculum is regularly reviewed to ensure that it is broad and well-balanced, providing an education that is relevant for the 21st Century. Inspirational teaching delivered by highly qualified and dedicated staff encourages pupils to question, to think critically, to work collaboratively, to persevere and to celebrate each other’s achievements, while equipping them with the skills and experiences required to succeed in their careers beyond St Gabriel’s.

Examinations are seen as a pathway to achieving personal goals and our academic team encourage, motivate, and support all our pupils to pursue their aspirations. The school has an excellent academic record with examination results at both A Level and GCSE being consistently high. In 2022, 60% of GCSE results were grade 9–7 and 51% of A Level grades were A*– A. St Gabriel’s is justly proud of its students’ achievements and it is not surprising that they go on to study a wide and diverse range of courses at their chosen universities.

The school provides a wide range of opportunities outside of the classroom and by encouraging pupils to express themselves in different ways creates a happy and rewarding educational environment. Numerous activities and visits extend and enrich pupils’ learning experience and pupils are positively encouraged to try new things. The performing and creative arts, sport and a wide range of clubs and societies ensure that pupils progress to the next stage of their education with confidence.

The school welcomes children of all faiths and combines traditional Christian values with strong pastoral care to provide a progressive, ‘real world’ safe, happy and supportive environment. A strong moral code ensures pupils leave the school as well-balanced, unpretentious individuals with the confidence to be assertive and decisive with warmth and without arrogance.
