Ofsted Report 2017 -
'Another line of enquiry for the insepction was the quality of careers guidance. The vast majority of pupils who attend the school also attend the school's post-16 provision. Students value the step-change in responsibilty they experiecne in key stage 5 and how well they are prepared for their futures. They are offered a comprhensive range of careers guidance and opportunities for work experience and 'tasters' based on each individual need. Staff work hard to ensure that all students are supported according to their precise needs to maximise the success of their next step into adult life. The wide range of destinations that students go on to are testament to the thoughful consideration of staff when making sure that placements are just right for the students'.
