"Excellent" overall. "The school’s thoroughly inclusive Christian vision is lived out in all aspects of its work. This has a transformational impact across the school community. All understand and practise the school’s five core values which are rooted in its Christian vision. As a result of the exceptionally strong sense of family promoted by school leaders, students flourish at Christ’s College. All are empowered to be their best selves, particularly those vulnerable students and those with additional needs, who are given sensitive, targeted support." In the 2019 report, the college was graded as 'requires improvement' by Ofsted on the grounds that pupils' outcomes had declined since 2013 and the 'progress of disadvantaged pupils and middle-ability pupils [was] well below average across a broad range of subjects." The inspection found that though improving pupils attendance is well below average and students behaviour disrupted lessons; staff did not apply the new expectations for behaviour consistently and did not feel supported when changes were made to school procedures and practices. The report also states that the 'quality of teaching is too variable across the school' and that 'teaching does not suitably challenge pupils from their different starting points.' In 2013, the college was inspected by Ofsted again and was graded as 'Good', the number of pupils being 649 with 37 in the sixth form. This grading was an improvement on the college's previous one of 'satisfactory' with the Inspectors being impressed with the pupils progress from Year 7 and the ethos of the college which 'promotes learning'. The exam results from the summer exams gave an average value added score for pupils which was one of the best in the county. College Houses The college has four houses; Austen, Redgrave, Turner and Sibley. Each house is led by a Student House Leader and a Staff House Leader. Students are assigned a house when they start in Year 7 and generally stay in that house for the remainder of their school life. There are many inter-house competitions including inter-house drama in the form of the Drama Festival and inter-house Dance and Music in the form of the Dance and Music Festivals. Many inter-house sports such as rugby, football, netball and handball continue throughout the school year. Charity work The college does work for charity, with it regularly holding fundraisers to help charities in the UK or across the world to get money they need.
