## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Appaling!: Appalling teachers and college, they don't care for the students and they don't support the students, Sometimes, teachers show up in class and after 5 minutes they are gone again leaving the students to do a task that they are not ablt to do wihtout guidance. They only care for the money they receive from the Government, council and aparents, it's shame! Sometimes, they are not explicit about what they charge and why asking for fee that are not mandatory. The food available is not healthy and re… *(Aug 2024)*
- **3/5** — Some Concerns but Overall Satisfied: We have had a mixed experience at the Sixth Form College. While the staff are generally friendly and helpful, we have had some issues with the organization and communication. My child has enjoyed the courses and extracurricular activities, but we feel that the college could do more to support students with special needs. *(Oct 2023)*
- **1/5** — shit man: kicked me out for having depression 👌 *(Apr 2023)*
- **1/5** — Horrific: Awful college, issue with drugs on site, do not involve parents in any decisions or updates regarding your child’s education or even safety. Claim they have no obligation to even let you know about your own child’s safety or welfare. Vice principles make outright outlandish accusations of nonsense against parents with no basis in fact if you dare to raise a complaint. *(Mar 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Facilities and Staff: We have been very impressed with the Sixth Form College. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the staff are always available to provide support and guidance. My child has enjoyed the wide range of subjects on offer and has developed valuable skills and confidence. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic Sixth Form Experience: I would highly recommend the Sixth Form College to anyone. My child has thrived in the supportive and stimulating environment. The range of courses and extracurricular activities has been excellent, and the college's focus on pastoral care has been truly evident. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Helped My Child Succeed: The Sixth Form College was instrumental in helping my child secure a place at a top university. The college's academic programs and extracurricular activities were excellent, and the staff were always supportive and motivated. I would highly recommend it to any student considering post-16 education. *(Jun 2022)*
- **1/5** — Parents and students beware: Nothing more to add, nothing more to say if I could leave no stars I would. 2 diabolical narcissistic teachers, not overseen properly. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — School: Is good, good school. *(Oct 2021)*
- **3/5** — A decent college with a satisfactory outlook: I started the college in September, 2019. Obviously my first year was naturally below average due to COVID-19, but that in itself brought to light a couple more things that I disagree with at this college. I’m going to attempt to write about each section below to provide a wide, open view. Do note though, as humans, we cannot prevent bias whatsoever. Especially at a young age, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I am mostly satisfied with how the system works. If you don’t have a lesson, yo… *(Oct 2020)*
