Following our most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, we were praised for taking effective action to maintain the high standards previously identified, reaffirming our status as a ‘Good’ school. Inspectors highlighted that our learners thrive both socially and academically, showing genuine respect for others’ differences—a reflection of our inclusive ethos and high aspirations.

Our pastoral care is a cornerstone of our success, with highly effective support systems and a staff team that holds consistently high expectations for every learner. At Ninestiles, we focus on securing strong academic outcomes and on preparing learners to become active, responsible citizens.

Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed by our collaborative leadership team and colleagues across Summit Learning Trust to offer breadth and balance. Learners benefit from a wide range of subjects at Key Stage 3, laying the foundation for informed choices at Key Stage 4, where options are tailored to their interests and abilities.

Beyond the classroom, our vibrant enrichment programme is a real strength of the school. With over 70 clubs and activities—including sport, music, art, drama, and debating—students are encouraged to explore their passions and develop new skills.
