Standards

Standards at Devizes

Expectations and standards are very high at Devizes School and this is reflected in our students' appearance, behaviour and attitudes to their learning.

In our last Ofsted inspection report in 2024, the behaviour of students was judged to be good, with inspectors noting that "Pupils at Devizes School are polite, considerate and respectful" and that "The school is calm and orderly. Lessons are free of disruption." They also stated that "The atmosphere in lessons and around the school is calm and purposeful" and that "All staff apply the school's behaviour and rewards system consistently".

We believe that it is everyone's responsibility to maintain these very high standards. Staff have a right to teach and students have a right to learn in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding. For more on our approach to teaching the standard we expect, please visit our 'Positive Behaviour' page or listen to one of our podcasts.

For more detailed information on the procedures of the school, including uniform expectations, merits & demerits, rewards and sanctions, interventions and suspensions, please look through our "Behaviour & Attitudes at Devizes School" booklet, or refer to the Parent Handbook.
