The School

Calthorpe Park School is a highly successful place to learn and grow. The school’s recent growth has created many ongoing opportunities for staff to develop, enhance and advance their careers within the same institution. We pride ourselves on the excellence of our exam results but our ethos is to support all students to have the opportunity to succeed and the experience of success in a culture of care and consideration; challenge and commitment; respect and responsibility; integrity and impression.
