Welcome from the Headteacher
Welcome to the Corfe Hills School website. Corfe Hills is a large, dynamic upper school with very good examination results, an excellent range of extra curricular activity and a strong ethos of good behaviour and 'consideration for others'. It is a good place to learn and I hope a good place to work. The school was judged 'outstanding' in all areas by the OFSTED inspectors in our most recent inspection. Our aim is to sustain and build on these standards. The main focus of the school is the quality of the learning taking place in and out of the classroom.
The school has excellent modern facilities and a very successful sixth form with more than 500 students. In addition to the normal features of a secondary school the school has Technology College Status allowing
particularly strong development in Maths, Science and Technology. The school
has superb facilities for ICT making the most of new approaches to learning and holding the ICT Becta Award. The school has the full British Council Award for International Schools, reflecting work that has featured links with Ghana and China. The school has the Arts Mark Silver Award and for staff it has the Investors in People Award.
Sports are encouraged through regular clubs, team fixtures and sports tours, most recently a three and a half week rugby and hockey tour to South Africa. Music and Drama are a regular feature and their work includes a full musical staged at a professional theatre (This year 'Fiddler on the Roof'). At Corfe Hills we set very high standards with the aim that students will be safe, happy and successful.
