The department also offer a range of extra-curricular activities, which play an important role in life at NTS.
Following an inspection in May 2013, we are proud to say that we retained our “outstanding” judgement from Ofsted; our Sixth Form was described as “first class” and the behaviour of our pupils “impeccable”. At NTS, there is a strong focus on in-house professional development and ‘supported accountability’.
