As a result, relationships between pupils and staff are warm and respectful. This helps to promote a positive culture in the school. The sixth form is exceptional. Students rise to the very academic standards that teachers have of them … In the sixth form, students particularly benefit from their teachers’ expertise, which is used to deepen students’ understanding and provoke challenging, academic discussion … Sixth-form provision was deemed to be outstanding.”
