"The quality of teaching, usually at least good and frequently excellent, makes a significant contribution to the students' progress and attainment, and to the college's fulfilment of its academic aims. Teachers' level of knowledge and expertise is high, not only in their academic subjects but also in examination requirements and techniques, which is particularly relevant and valuable to students at this stage in their education.

Behaviour in class is managed outstandingly well, to the benefit of effective learning. The teachers' rapport with their students is excellent. In lessons, as elsewhere, everyone is on first-name terms and there is a strong sense of mature and friendly collaboration.

With small or very small classes throughout the college, lessons are very much like tutorials, with teachers paying unusually close attention to the needs of each individual student. Students at all levels find their teachers helpful and appreciate their willingness to assist them with their work outside the timetabled lessons."
