From the Kettlethorpe High School
Kettlethorpe High School is a fantastic place to be and keeps becoming better and better.
The results of our students are a credit to them, and we can compete with other institutions in terms of exam achievement.
However, schools are about much more than simply tests, and our extracurricular activities, as well as our travels and visits, are truly unmatched.
It has a good impact on our students' life, and we are extremely proud of it.
As a big high school, we collaborate closely with other nearby schools and universities to help our students study and advance once they graduate in Year 11.
In December 2016, Ofsted gave the school a positive endorsement and designated it as a "good" school.
The school is well-liked and keeps expanding.
Every year, the school hosts an open evening to assist families making the transition from elementary to Kettlethorpe High School.
Our open evening for the incoming Year 7, which will begin in September 2021, will be held on Thursday, September 24, 2020, from 4 pm to 8 pm.
All of our students should feel safe and secure when they attend school, according to the school community.
