regents park community college
Southampton
As the Headteacher of this exceptional school, I am extremely proud of our ethos
which is based on Respect, Pride, Creativity and Challenge. Staff and students
embrace our values and as a result we are, arguably the most improved school on
the South Coast. Regents Park is an over- subscribed mixed 11-16 school in the
heart of Shirley, Southampton. The school is one of the oldest in Southampton
steeped in history and over 100 years old. At Regents Park we provide a
wonderful mix of tradition with a modern twist on teaching and learning ensuring
that we provide a curriculum that generates interest, challenge and most
importantly offers fun and excitement. Ofsted April 2018: ‘Teaching is
characterised by highly effective planning, secure subject knowledge among the
teachers, the use of a wide range of teaching strategies and the use of detailed
information about pupils.’ Our pastoral care is second to none and we pride
ourselves in the support and respect that emanates around the school with
Student Leadership and Student Voice forming the platform on which the school
continues to excel. Ofsted April 2018: ‘The strong messages about respect which
flow from the top, and are modelled by all staff, are assimilated by pupils.
Accordingly, they treat each other and adults with respect. Pupils’ behaviour
around the school is exceptional. Their enthusiasm for learning is admirable,
and their conduct in lessons is excellent.’ Our success is built on the
commitment we have towards each and every student. As a small community school
we understand the needs of each individual and data is used effectively to
inspire each child to do their best.
