From the Hugh Sexey Church of England Middle School
We appreciate you visiting the webpage for Hugh Sexey Church of England Middle School. I hope this gives you a sense of our school and an understanding of our fundamental principles and beliefs. We are really proud of our school and the advancements that both academically and socially our students make. The school was rated "OUTSTANDING" by Ofsted in June 2012, and a Church inspection (SIAMS) in September 2017 also gave our school that rating. We are a vibrant, welcoming community of learners with a lot going on. Here, our students excel both academically and in all other facets of school life. Because of our close ties to the local churches, our school's strong Christian foundation is strengthened and informs what we do on a daily basis. With the official collaboration with our partner First and Upper schools in the Wessex Learning Trust, we have further strengthened our commitment to placing children at the centre of everything we do. We firmly believe that "We learn together," and by doing so, we support a well-thought-out 2–19 school curriculum and personal growth path. We are a highly well-liked, overcrowded middle school that enrols a large number of students from outside of our catchment area. This is so that their children can receive a more effective education, according to parents who prefer the middle school system's three tiers. We sincerely hope you enjoy browsing our website and discover the details you're looking for. However, don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or suggestions. Thank you for visiting the website, and we look forward to meeting you.
