We were delighted that this was recognised in our 2020 Ofsted inspection. Burnside College was acknowledged to be a good school in all areas with outstanding sixth form provision. Staff are proud to work at our school and proud of the young people in our community.
These improvements have been secured through a real team effort between school leaders and staff. We have a relentless focus on teaching and learning and ensure we routinely consider the latest educational thinking in order to reflect on and refine what happens in classrooms. This goes hand in hand with a strong, caring, system of pastoral support and a focus on the personal development of our pupils.
