St Albans School圣奥尔本斯中学

St Albans School is an independent day school for boys aged between 11 and 18 years, and girls aged
between 16 and 18. Tracing its roots back to 948 A.D., the school has a long association with the Abbey
and has occupied its present site since around 1870. The school is a registered charity. It is a company
limited by guarantee, of which all the trustees are directors. There is, in addition, an advisory council
whose purpose is to bring particular expertise to governors' committees. The current headmaster has
been in post since 2014. Since the previous inspection, a new strategic development plan has been
implemented, a new music school has opened, new systems have been introduced to receive and
respond to the views of pupils, and the structures and processes of governance have been redrawn.
The school aims to help each pupil to flourish intellectually and personally, developing self-knowledge
and self-confidence in order to find meaning and purpose in life.

Pupils come mostly from a range of professional and business backgrounds. The school population
reflects the ethnic diversity of its local communities. Most live within a 15-mile radius of the school.
Nationally standardised test data provided by the school indicate that the ability of pupils is well above
average. The school has identified 144 pupils as having special educational needs and/or disabilities
including dyslexia, and weaknesses in memory or processing. AIlI are given additional support by the
school. One pupil has an education, health and care plan and no pupil has English as an additional
language. The school seeks to enrich the curriculum and provide challenge for all pupils given their
ability levels.
