About Sir George Monoux College:
“Students with high needs and those from disadvantaged backgrounds particularly appreciate having calm, quiet spaces to work. During their study periods, students can be found quietly sitting reading or doing homework in the gardens and independent study zones. Students feel safe in all areas of the college. They value the knowledgeable and kind safeguarding team, who they feel confident will deal with their concerns.”
“Students feel respected and listened to.”
“Teachers use a range of methods to teach effectively. They give clear explanations, show worked examples and use different study aids to support students’ learning.”
