Christ’s College is a Church of England school. Since the last inspection the designated resource centre for students with speech, language and communication difficulties has closed. The school is smaller than most and the sixth form is very small but growing. Most students are from a White British background, with 10% belonging to one of a wide range of other ethnic backgrounds. Relatively few speak English as an additional language. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs is just above average. The proportion of students who are supported by school action school action plus or who are in receipt of statements of special educational needs is also broadly in line with national proportions. An average proportion of students, slightly more than a quarter, are known to be eligible for the pupil premium. This is additional governmenent funding for children in local authority care, students from service families and those known to be eligible for free school meals. A very small number of students receive all or part of their education with alternative providers; these are Lift-off, Not-school, Brooklands College, and Hope Hospital. Six students are completing a diploma which is run by this school in conjunction with another local school. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress.
