Phoenix High School
Nearest underground station: East Acton
Is a vibrant multicultural school which is committed to substantially enhancing the opportunities for its students, through high expectations and first class teaching and learning. Our students are well motivated and very keen to make progress in their studies. Phoenix High School aims to challenge and excite all our students by providing a flexible and dynamic learning environment. There has been a recent strong upward trend in our examination results. At the end of Key stage 4 our students' achievements are above the national expectation. We expect this trend to continue.
We seek to generate a positive atmosphere, where individuals are given every opportunity to develop their abilities, aptitudes and personalities to the full. Students are taught in groups according to attainment and all students are expected to strive for excellence in everything that they do.
Our students enjoy working in an atmosphere that is characterised by high expectations, fairness, transparency and mutual respect.
The school has been described by Ofsted as a school 'which cares deeply for its students. They are valued and supported well in developing their self-esteem and potential as learners'; 'Links with parents are hgihly effective and parental involvement has a good impact on the work of the school'.
