JMHS was last inspected by OFSTED in November 2022 who confirmed our good grading and whose comments included:

• Pupils behave well. They are polite to their teachers and considerate of their peers.

• Parents rate teachers’ high expectations because they push pupils to do more. Many say teachers go ‘above and beyond’ for their children.

• Pupils can do unusual stuff at this exciting school.

• School leaders have constructed a rich and engaging curriculum.

We welcome visits from prospective applicants. If you would like to have a tour of the school, please email Andy Williams, one of our assistant headteachers
