The Crypt School

About the School

The Crypt School is an outstanding co-educational grammar school which places the child at the heart of all that they do and it has a strong reputation as a caring and friendly school, a school in which all students can thrive.

Learning is at the very heart of school life, and all students are supported and inspired to achieve high academic standards. Students leave the School with outstanding exam results and progress onto university, work-place apprenticeships and employment with the resilience, knowledge and understanding that a Crypt education provides.

The pastoral care provided at The Crypt is exceptional and they have developed a caring and supportive environment where students grow in confidence, show respect for each other, as well as for their teachers and for other adults within the school community, enjoy learning, and are valued as individuals. This positive, caring ethos is the foundation for The Crypt School's students’ academic success.

The Crypt School students also develop the knowledge and understanding, as well as a set values which enables them to contribute richly to both their school and wider society. A broad and balanced curriculum is supported by a citizenship education programme allows all young people to explore their world, as well as often difficult and demanding issues in a safe and understanding environment.

The school careers programme seeks to equip all pupils with the knowledge and understanding of the world of further learning and work so they can confidently take their place in the wider world after they leave school.
