We are starting to look at 6th form colleges for year 10 DD1. She is more of a B grade student than an A grade, but tries hard.
What do you look for apart from the subjects/results?
How do you know if the spin on pastoral care is spin or reality?
Does anyone have any views on Peter Symmonds, Barton Peveril or Brock?
Especially, but not limited to:
PS: Is it very high pressured? How do they stop students getting 'lost' within the vast numbers?
Brock: What is special that would make it worth travelling to?
BP: Do they push students enough? What is pastoral care like?
Are PS results due to good teaching, or high quality Winchester students?
