The college has a strong focus on individualised learning, with students having access to a broad range of A-level subjects and tailored support.

Strengths:

• Students have access to a broad range of A-level subjects tailored to their individual needs.
• Small class sizes enable teachers to provide highly personalised support.
• Leaders have high expectations for all students, including those with SEND.
• Students' behaviour is exemplary, and they are hardworking and dedicated to their studies.
• The school provides very effective pastoral support, including weekly personalised sessions for all students.

Areas to improve:

• Sometimes, systems to check for students' understanding and addressing misconceptions are not secure, leading to students not deepening or consolidating their knowledge and understanding.
• Some aspects of the provision for students' personal development are not planned enough to develop and stretch their interests, limiting their access to a rich set of experiences, including some aspects of careers guidance.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
