Cardinal Pole Catholic School is a mixed comprehensive school for 11-19 year old students Our school is built on strong foundations of discipline and moral purpose. We offer a lively, dynamic and highly successful environment in which to achieve. Above all, we are a faith community, providing an enriching education which cares deeply about the wellbeing and development of our children and our community. Our GCSE grades reflect a strong tradition of success and progress last year, putting Cardinal Pole in the top 25% of schools nationally. There were very strong performances in many subjects, notably English, Music, Art, 3D Design and RE and Sociology, where students excelled. Our commitment to a rigorous and broad curriculum was demonstrated in the fact that nearly three quarters of all students were entered for EBACC this year (the study of one of the humanities and a language in addition to core); significantly more than nationally.
