ISI INSPECTION REPORT 2021

The college is highly successful in fulfilling its aim to nurture young people to be the best they can be in achievement and characters. Pupils develop increasingly high levels of self-knowledge, confidence, self-discipline and resilience so that, by the time they leave, they fully understand how to improve their own learning and performance and demonstrate skills that mean they are extremely well-prepared for the next stage of their lives.
