Platanos College (Academy)

Platanos College is a high-performing mixed academy for ages 11 to 16 years old. We were rated ‘outstanding’ in all aspects of our school in our recent Ofsted inspection. We have now received three successive ‘Outstanding’ ratings over the last decade.

There is an exceptionally strong school ethos and we are proud of the way our specialisms permeate all aspects of school life. Our pupils are expected to demonstrate enterprise capability through decision-making, leadership, managing risk and problem-solving. Ample opportunities exist for pupils to develop these skills, both within the timetabled curriculum and beyond, through our extensive extracurricular programmes.
