“St John Rigby Sixth Form College is a joyful,
happy and supportive community. Students
express great pride in their college.
They know their time in sixth form is relatively short and they speak
about how much they will miss this college when the time comes for them to move
on. They express appreciation for the
wide-ranging support they receive from staff and the outstanding ‘wrap around’
care from the pastoral team.”
“Students have a real sense of their uniqueness
and self-worth which leads them to show great respect and care for others. This is evident in exemplary behaviour in
lessons and in movement around the college campus.”
“There is a real spirit of collaboration and
teamwork which many staff describe as being a ‘family atmosphere’.”
“A strong culture of welcome and inclusion extends to students of all faiths and none’.”
“The college is fully inclusive and follows the mission: Give me roots to grow and wings to fly. Students are confident and self-assured, have excellent attitudes towards their learning and make exceptional progress.”

There were moments of heartfelt pride during the inspection
process following feedback from meetings held with students and staff and hearing from the inspectors about the exemplary nature of our students. It is a joy to now share this report so that
the whole college community can have a sense of pride in the part which they play and so that others can read about the deserved reputation of the college.
This report is a celebration of the values and the qualities of our students and our staff and provides a sense of why this is such a special college with a strong sense of community.
