We are on a RAPID MISSION to turn our school into one of the BEST in the country! When the current leadership took over, in September 2024, Ernulf had NEVER received an Ofsted 'Good' in ANY category.
  
  In January 2025, after just one term, Ofsted rated us 'Good' in ALL categories. Then, in the summer exams we improved our 4+ English and Maths from 52% to 63%! If our rapid improvement and ambition EXCITE you, then join us to DISRUPT DISADVANTAGE by transforming the education of our pupils. We are within an hour's commute of North London, Norfolk, Grantham and Rugby.

We believe in keeping things simple. Our mantra is: WORK HARD, BE KIND. We don't just want children to attain incredible academic outcomes; we also want to help them become great people. WORK HARD Team Ernulf don't believe in fads. We know the biggest factor in a child's achievement is how hard they work. That is why we have sky high expectations.

We have simple rules, centralised detentions, and we back our teachers - so that our classrooms are disruption-free. We do this to support our children who want to work hard and do well. A knowledge-rich curriculum, built on 'powerful knowledge', underpins our teaching and learning principles. We offer a traditional approach to teaching, following evidence-based research by Rosenshine. Our pedagogy is influenced by Teach Like A Champion (TLAC).

Stimulating lessons are delivered by teachers, who we back as the expert in the room.
