"Individual students are challenged, supported and encouraged; they comment that they feel valued and consider themselves fortunate to attend the school. The students’ personal development and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development are outstanding." – Ofsted

A very warm welcome

Welcome to the Sir John Lawes website. For over 70 years Sir John Lawes School has been delivering an outstanding education for all students in our care and I hope within these pages you will discover something of how we combine the best of traditional values with the very latest in teaching methods and technologies.

Our three specialisms demonstrate the strengths of the school. Specialisms in Science and Media Arts place us at the cutting edge of teaching and learning and enable us to use new technologies creatively to supplement our students’ experience. Our training school status reflects the importance we place on recruiting and developing the very highest-quality staff in all areas of the organisation.

We are also very aware of our responsibilities to the wider community and awards such as our International School status are evidence of our students’ awareness of the role they play as global citizens.
