Ofsted said the following about the Student Centre (March 2007 inspection)
On student involvement:
“Sixth form students feel valued. They form an integral part of the college and take on a wide range of responsibilities, such as providing extra-curricular opportunities for younger students, acting as trained peer counsellors and representing student views on the Governing body
.
On student guidance from tutors and the college:
“Students receive good advice on the appropriate courses to follow; as a consequence, few fail to successfully complete their studies. Guidance is equally good on the different progression paths available and a growing proportion is successfully seeking places in higher education”
On the choice of subjects available:
“In the sixth form the subject choice has been further enhanced by a well-managed collaborative arrangement.”
On the quality of teaching and marking:
“Monitoring of teaching and student progress is now being completed more rigorously. These systems are having a positive impact on the standards reached by students.”
“I have just started my first day on the Medicine degree course at Bristol University. I just wanted to say thank you to the Student Centre tutors and all staff that helped me on my way throughout my application and studies. I wouldn’t have even thought about medicine unless I was given the opportunities you all presented me with.
Thank you once again.”
