Hi this is PGC's daugher. I currently attend gch VI form and have been there since year 7. The sixth form is not what I expected as throughout school years it was rather strict, but the 6th form has quite a laid back aproach to things. However, this is not taken for grantd as the staff can be strict towards us if necessary!! We have enough freedom to do as we like to a certain extent and hav some free periods in which to do independent studying. The teaching is of a very high standard and although we are no longer 'spoon fed' like GCSE years, the teachers give us more than enough information and are always happy to help if difficulties arise. When the external students came in this year they were welcomed very well by all of us who were staying on to study and I for one have certainly made lots of new friends who of didn't attend the school previously. I hope your daughter applies to the school as it is certainly a good one! Feel free to ask me any questions that you might have! Hope this was helpful! Beatrice
