After the 2009 Ofsted report, the college was put on special measures due to the following reasons:
Safeguarding
The school did not comply with government requirements for the safety of pupils. (A technical problem of not having updated their policy on the official database).
Equal opportunities
The college failed to tackle the differences in performance between boys and girls. (A technical problem of not having updated their policy on the official database).

Attainment has remained consistently low over the past three years and students have made significantly less progress than they should in English and mathematics.

Famous quotes containing the word results:
“The restlessness that comes upon girls upon summer evenings results in lasting trouble unless it is speedily controlled. The right kind of man does not look for a wife on the streets, and the right kind of girl waits till the man comes to her home for her.”
—Sedalia Times (1900)
“There is ... in every child a painstaking teacher, so skilful that he obtains identical results in all children in all parts of the world. The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
