 Gaynor Cheshire Headteacher Pittville School is a vibrant, forward-looking and rapidly improving Foundation school in Cheltenham. It is our belief that every young person has gifts, talents and abilities and it is our aim to recognise and unlock each child’s potential and therefore maximise their life chances. Our priority is to work in partnership with parents and students to help them achieve the very best possible success. We firmly believe that each student should be challenged intellectually, creatively, personally and socially in preparation for their future life. We recognise that good relationships are at the heart of the best education. To support high quality learning we ensure the school is a well organised, happy, calm, respectful and disciplined environment. We uphold the traditional values of discipline, courtesy, good manners and respect. Pittville is a school where students learn and therefore high standards of behaviour and appearance are expected in and out of the classroom. We do not tolerate anything or anyone that prevents learning from taking place or brings the school into disrepute.
Pittville is a smaller than average school with approximately 700 students. We are a true comprehensive school and celebrate our diversity. We are proud of our calm, friendly atmosphere. Because of our size we are able to offer a level of personalised learning and pastoral support that is just not possible in some larger schools. In 2009 Pittville was graded ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Our aim is to continue to improve and we will not compromise in pursuit of our goal to become an ‘outstanding school.’ We intend to continually develop to provide an excellent level of education, pastoral care and guidance. |

Our specialist arts status is a real strength of the school and underpins much of the methodology of our teaching. Our
extremely talented teachers and support staff are encouraged to use creative, exciting and imaginative teaching styles
to engage and capture the interest of all our students and strengthen their communication skills. Equally important are
the skills learnt within the Arts. These are transferable and provide students with the opportunities to learn in a range of
different ways, such as working in teams or improving their presentational skills. |
