“Since its previous inspection, the college has improved significantly. The Principal and his leadership team have ensured that students are taught well and make good progress. Achievement in science and English is particularly high and students now also achieve good standards in mathematics. Teachers and support staff know students exceptionally well and use precise information about their progress to guide their learning. The improvements in teaching and learning have resulted from the determined drive and clear vision of the Principal and his senior leadership team. A rigorous system to monitor teaching and learning has been introduced which is supported by a well-matched training programme.”
