OFSTED re St Sebastian’s Primary School, October 2007
“Since the previous inspection there have been improvements in the curriculum. Good links are being made with local colleges and businesses. Particular strengths are the development of vocational courses and those based on ICT. These have contributed significantly to the improved standards by the end of Year 11. The alternative vocational based course is also effective. Many students following these courses show improved motivation and attendance as a result.”
OFSTED re The Albion High School, October 2007
In Key Stage 4, students have the opportunity to follow a very wide range of courses that are suited to their interests and abilities. This includes many vocational opportunities which give students access to excellent facilities, for example, the school’s construction centre and those provided at local colleges. This enables students to follow more personalised pathways in their studies. It contributes significantly towards their outstanding achievement.
