Strengths
- “The school lives by its motto ‘Together We Achieve’ and works in partnership with the community it serves.”
- “There are high expectations of pupils.”
- “They are provided with extensive opportunities and strong pastoral care, both of which enable them to flourish.”
To improve
- “While sixthform teaching benefits from teachers’ expertise and regular student practice, approaches to teaching are more variable.”
- “At times, checking of deeper understanding is not as systematic as in the rest of the school, and students are not routinely guided to make more critical links or articulate more complex ideas in discussion.”
- “Students work hard, but at times the expectations for how they should maximise their independent study time is unclear.”
