At their most recent visit to The Malling School, Ofsted inspectors found the school had a good sixth form.  Here’s what they wrote in their report: 

"The new curriculum, as well as good teaching and support, makes it an attractive option for an increasing proportion of students.

Although the school offers only a small number of courses, these are well chosen to respond to students’ needs and preferences, and students can access a much wider range through the sixth form consortium.

Students enjoy their time in the sixth form. They feel that their teachers are

approachable and prepared to give them extra individual help when they need it.

Students make a good contribution to the rest of the school through the help they give to younger students, for example in physical education lessons, and to the wider community through their participation in the sixth form consortium council.  

In this well run sixth form, leaders are strongly committed to students’ well-being, and to continuing to improve the provision in order to further increase standards."
