## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A fantastic Sixth Form experience: I'm so grateful for the opportunity my child has had at Hills Road Sixth Form College. The staff are always supportive and encouraging, and the facilities are excellent. My child has grown in confidence and developed a love for learning. *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — Biology horror: was good until y13. my biology teacher left so they collapsed thw whole class- changed teachers and separated the people in it. had to adapt to a whole new teaching style with people i had never met before. Because of this I am getting horrible grades and i have been offered no support and not been allowed to move into a class with a teacher i am more comfortable with. Extremely unfair that we didn’t get a choice in any of this and were stuck into random classes. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent preparation for university: My child attended Hills Road Sixth Form College and went on to achieve excellent grades at university. The college provided a great environment for my child to develop their academic skills and grow into a confident young adult. *(Aug 2022)*
- **3/5** — Good but could improve: My child has had a good experience at Hills Road Sixth Form College, but there are a few areas that could be improved. The teaching can be hit or miss, and the college could do more to support students with mental health issues. *(Jun 2022)*
- **1/5** — AVOID AT ALL COSTS: This school is shit don’t come I’m warning you. Economics department is the biggest let down go somewhere else *(Feb 2022)*
- **2/5** — blems were mediocre: turned up for my first day and at the gate a woman in orange duty officer drip asked if i wanted to twos a blem so was like why not. turns out there was some proper heavy shit in it. woke up four years later with a 1st class honours degree in liberal arts from the university of lincoln and major ketamine addiction. couldnt recomend honestly, probably have better life chances going to oakes, or, god forbid, long road. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Best decision of my life!: Deciding to study at Hills was the best choice I've ever made. I've made friends for life, learnt so much and got into a fantastic University. It was unforgettable and I am in debt to the teachers who taught me. *(Oct 2020)*
