“Supported by good, and often excellent, teaching and with access to a broad curriculum, pupils make good progress in their skills and knowledge. By the time they leave the college in Year 11 they have achieved success in GCSE examinations according to their ability and further developed their skills and talents in a range of extra-curricular pursuits. The teaching of pupils with SEND is highly successful in meeting their needs helped by the focused support within and outside of the classroom.”
