“Leaders, including governors, have successfully brought about improvements in the quality of teaching and students’ achievements since the previous inspection. Consequently, the overall effectiveness of the college has improved since the last inspection and is good. Students make good progress across the college in a wide range of subjects including English and mathematics. This is because well-planned, interesting tasks motivate students to work hard and complete a good amount of high-quality work.”
