Prior Pursglove and Stockton Sixth Form College

Prior Pursglove and Stockton Sixth Form College continues to demonstrate a good level of performance, providing students with diverse opportunities that support their progression into careers and higher education. The college offers a mixture of A-level and vocational subjects across two campuses, catering to a wide range of student needs, including those with high needs who partake in practical activities that foster independence and skill development. The college has seen improvements in student retention and achievement rates, particularly in A-level subjects, indicating effective leadership and teaching practices. While most of the students achieve well and feel safe, there are areas for further enhancement, particularly in the use of initial assessments to tailor functional skills teaching to students’ individual needs. Leadership is committed to ongoing development and has already implemented effective strategies for improvement, yet ongoing staff training is an area that needs more consistency across subjects. Overall, the college is well-positioned to continue its positive trajectory with the right focus on addressing these areas for growth.
