From our Head

Whilst we already knew that our school had many strengths, it is wonderful to have it confirmed by Ofsted and we can all be rightly proud to have gained such recognition.

The inspectors were incredibly impressed and noted “pupils behave very well in the classroom and around the school.

This creates a calm and welcoming atmosphere in which pupils thrive”.

I know that pupils and parents appreciate just how hard the staff work to provide not only superb teaching, but also the wonderful opportunities for all pupils to develop at Cavendish.

Celebrating Success

The staff and governors of Cavendish wish to congratulate all of our Year 11 pupils for the fantastic GCSE grades they have achieved this year.

Headteacher, Peter Marchant said, "The grades that our pupils have achieved are a reflection of their hard work throughout their time at the school and they can rightly feel proud of what they have achieved through these  challenging times."
