I am delighted to welcome you to Verulam School through this website and hope to convey our sense of pride in the school and its many achievements.
The school is now more than 60 years old and whilst valuing its many traditions we relish the new challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. We are a high performing Specialist School for Mathematics, Science and Technology. In November 07 after a thorough appraisal the Department for Children, Families and Schools granted us resources for a second three year phase of this programme. Our high performing status was granted after a good grade at Ofsted and more than 60% of our students obtaining 5 GCSE Grades at A to C including in English and Maths. It also means we are allowed a second specialism and we have chosen Modern Foreign Languages. We have also continued our highly successful collaborative partnership with Beaumont and Sandringham Schools which with ourselves form the BeauSandVer Sixth Form consortium.
We cater for boys across the ability range between the ages of 11 and 19. Most boys stay at the school into the Sixth Form where we also welcome students who join us from other schools as well as girls. When they leave after seven years with us most students go on to study at University.
Verulam is first and foremost a community that is dedicated to learning. We believe that a commitment to academic excellence in a caring, well ordered environment will enable each student to achieve their full potential. The school has a highly dedicated and extremely well qualified staff whose aim is to equip tomorrow's young adults with the knowledge, skills and values they will need to enjoy successful futures.
Our outstanding range of extra-curricular activities, including sport and music, complements the work done in the classroom and helps develop self discipline, confidence and trust, as well as an awareness of the needs of others.
The pages within this website can only act as a snapshot of the life at Verulam and so please address any comments or queries you may have about the school to the office by using the Contact Us page. You can access this by using the menu button on the left of this page.
Finally I would like to encourage all parents to support our very successful Parents Teacher Association (PTA). It brings parents together socially and raises up to £20,000 a year for those extra things that so improve the environment for our students. If you click on the links menu above you can access the PTA website with more detailed information.
