Parents interviewed by the Independent Schools Inspectorate were particularly pleased about the range of subjects on offer and the help provided for students to make progress. Students commented that teachers are “always there for them”.
Student development
Inspectors commended the high standards of students’ achievement, as well as the College’s substantial enrichment opportunities, particularly for gifted and talented students.
They went on to say that the individual approach and respect for every student promoted by the College builds self-confidence in young people. “Students are attentive, fluent and read intelligently. They are morally aware, respect rules and enjoy their work”, inspectors said.
Well-qualified, experienced staff
Inspectors also praised the “strong” leadership in the College and described support for students as “exceptional”.
They commented that lessons are well-planned and that teachers know their subjects well. Teachers are well-qualified, dedicated and experienced, inspectors found.
