What is Sixth Form like?
The sixth form is very successful and well led. Most pupils from Year 11 stay on. Students show leadership in the school. They achieve highly at A level. The sixth formers we met explained the high expectations staff have of them, together with the clear feedback and helpful advice they receive. Staff support them in working hard and showing good levels of independence. Students are well prepared for work and further study. Most move on to university, which suits them well. Others go to apprenticeships, which the school appropriately promotes, or find suitable jobs
