Subject: Seeking Insights on Local Sixth Form Schools
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out to gather your thoughts on the sixth form schools in and around Bracknell (including Wokingham and Reading).
As a teacher who recently relocated to the area, I’m starting my job search and would appreciate any recommendations or warnings about specific schools to be mindful of.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello! Welcome to the area! Bracknell and its surroundings have several schools with sixth forms that generally receive positive feedback. Some notable options include:
Bracknell Forest Academy – Known for its supportive environment and good results. They offer a variety of A-level subjects and vocational courses.
Garth Hill College – They have recently improved their sixth form offerings, focusing on quality teaching and student progress.
Finchampstead Primary School – Although primarily a primary school, it has a strong community feel and is beneficial for younger students.
Woodley School – Located in Reading, this school has a good reputation for its sixth form and a wide curriculum.
In terms of schools to avoid, it’s always best to check recent Ofsted reports, as they can provide valuable insights into performance and culture. Local groups and forums can also offer personal experiences.
It may also be helpful to network with fellow teachers and visit schools to get a feel for the environment. Good luck with your job search!
