From students

Very friendly people, very relaxed atmosphere, opportunities, university preparation.

The Sixth form team are very supportive and many go out of their way to help even when they’re busy.

I have enjoyed meeting new people, being in lessons that I actually care about, having more freedom then lower school.

There is a great support for people struggling with their mental health or just subjects in general. There is also a lot of lovely people including both students and teachers and I have made some great friendships since joining in year 12.

The subjects are awesome, I have really enjoyed them. The sixth form team are unbelievably lovely and supportive. And I've made great friends here.

Staff are friendly and supportive.

Staff will go to any lengths to help. Honestly all of my teachers have been amazing and supportive.

Staff are very knowledgeable compared to other teachers I’ve been taught by, they know how to get along with the students very well and they are understanding.

Sixth from team care a lot about my experience and want you to do the best you can, if you ask for help they will give it.

The out of school academic support has been amazing.

Staff are kind, funny, relatable, always willing to help, motivational.

Staff love their subjects and caring for their students.

Staff make lessons entertaining while also teaching students well and being supportive.

Staff don't let you fall off the back of the bus and they let you know when you need help.

The atmosphere is nice and the teachers care about your learning.

Great teachers and the pastoral team actually care about you.

I've enjoyed myself and feel that I've been given a brilliant education to push me further in life.

My experience has been good in probably every way the school can control.

My daughter has thrived at 6th form. It’s small enough to feel known by teachers but big enough to get great staff and a good student body.  

Our third child to go through KES sixth form and each have had a positive experience.

Great staff, super work ethic, high expectations of all pupils.
