The Sixth Form is good.
Students receive very
good advice and
guidance and achieve
well as a result of
challenging teaching. Achievement in the Sixth Form is continuing to improve. Leaders have taken effective steps to ensure that students are given good advice and guidance on entry and the quality of teaching is checked carefully.
Teaching in the Sixth Form is
good; lessons are well
planned and designed to
challenge individual students
at their appropriate level.
The advice and guidance provided to students on entry to
the Sixth Form means they have a realistic view of the demands of the courses they
are choosing.
Achievement continues to
improve.
ALIS exit questionnaire May 14: How do you now feel about having chosen to
do the courses at John Bentley Sixth Form?
I feel good as I already knew the
teachers and felt comfortable
enough to approach them for
help and guidance on my
work.
I knew I wanted to stay at JBS for Sixth Form from the start of Year 10 because I knew all the staff, surroundings and I enjoyed
my time here.
I really liked the atmosphere
created, it made Sixth Form an
enjoyable experience.
I looked around before I chose
JBS, and I am really comfortable and happy studying here.
I think that JBS is a great Sixth
Form and I am pleased I chose
here. I think choosing to study the
courses here was the right choice.

The Difference Between A’ Level and GCSE.....
Much more enjoyable – choice of study But
Much, much harder.
Students will need to work SO much harder than last year.
• Students should aim to match the time inside the classroom with private study time.
• They should be spending 4.5 hours per week per A’ Level subject (18 hours per week).
• They should be spending at least two hours a week on other CV enhancing activities.
