An Inspired School

Academics

High-quality academic provision delivered by exceptional teachers is the cornerstone of Inspired’s and Wetherby Pembridge’s philosophy, as it leads to exceptional performance in exams and develops students’ skills and knowledge to thrive at university and beyond. The very best teachers at Wetherby Pembridge will ensure the curriculum is rigorous; their teaching, built on the evidence of what works so well at Wetherby, Pembridge Hall and Inspired schools around the world and combined with the latest pedagogical thinking and technology, will ensure learning is deep in every subject for every student; and the state-of-the-art learning environments will inspire students to achieve their full academic potential as confident, curious and well-rounded learners with a lifelong love of learning and essential critical thinking skills. The results speak for themselves: one-third of Inspired graduates attend Russell Group or Ivy League schools, while 90% enter their first-choice university. 

Performing and Creative Arts

At Inspired schools, students are empowered to express themselves creatively in a variety of artistic media, from dance and drama to music and visual arts. Learners’ creativity reflects their unique characters, giving students confidence in their own ideas and skills that transfer into all aspects of student learning and development. At Wetherby Pembridge, this will be fostered consistently through specialist lessons, after-school clubs, school productions and collaboration within the extraordinary cultural and creative hub that Olympia has become. Specialist dance and music rooms enable the most creative learning, supporting the jewel in the crown for Performing Arts at Wetherby Pembridge, the school’s 200-seat professional theatre, which will prepare and showcase students’ creative performances. 

Sport

Sport is at the centre of Inspired and Wetherby Pembridge’s holistic curriculum, supporting health and wellbeing, developing resilience and self-esteem, and learning how to succeed as an individual and within a team. Through leading specialist coaching across different disciplines, Wetherby Pembridge’s sports programmes promote the excellent technical skills that students need to develop to excel nationally and internationally. An extensive selection of exciting sports options is available, from football, rugby, netball, and athletics to cricket, rowing, swimming and martial arts. Students at Wetherby Pembridge benefit from exceptional sports facilities, with one floor of the school developed as a sports hall with specialist gymnasiums and access to the school's own nearby Wetherby Pembridge Sports Ground, which has a 3G pitch, astro pitches, netball courts, a cricket field and nets.
