Our most recent Ofsted inspector (October 2016) included the following comments:
“Schemes of work are detailed and there is a good focus on developing pupil’s skills across a range of subjects.”
“The pupils the inspector met said that teaching is good and that they enjoy their learning across the different subjects.”
“There is evidence of promotion of pupil’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.”
“Pupil’s individual achievement targets are set and their progress is assessed regularly. Pupils’ progress is shared with parents every half term and at parents’ evenings.”

“Bales was a great environment to get ready for university. I felt I had freedom, but mixed with lots of structure and support to make it through the courses and exams, and find my true interests”
“The learning environment at Bales College was ideal for me as it allowed me to be independent with my learning, at times, which has prepared me well for my studies at university.”
Bales has been everything I could have hoped for when I joined in year 7. The dynamic approach to education at all ages/levels has aided both my academic and personal development and I am sad to leave
“My confidence was wrecked after my very poor year 12 results at my previous school. My subject teachers and Mr Yearsley worked really closely with me to start again, and build up my knowledge base and confidence, which allowed me to push for much higher marks and achieve 3 Bs, which at the start I never thought I could get to!”
