Many thanks to all the Year 12 parents who completed our survey after their review appointments with Post 16 personal tutors. The results of this survey were overwhelmingly positive, with 100% of parents saying their child is happy and feels safe in the Sixth Form.
Almost all parents (98%) agreed that the school has high expectations for their child and 97% agreed that they are kept up to date with their child’s progress. A similarly high percentage agreed that there is a good range of post 16 subjects and extra-curricular activities for students and that the school supports students’ wider development beyond taught qualifications, through things like progression activities, tutorials, assemblies, citizenship and the registration programme.
Most parents felt the questions regarding the effectiveness with which the school deals with bullying and supports students with SEND needs weren’t relevant to their own children, but of those that did, almost all were happy with the support.
The only response that stood out as a bit less positive was the question about how well the school keeps parents informed about what their children are studying. Parents are reminded that the details of each course can be found in our curriculum outlines and prospectus, both of which can be found on our website or click the links below.
Finally, 95% of parents said they would recommend the school to other parents.
