This third successive top rating places Huish with only a handful of institutions nationally to have been an ‘Outstanding’ provider of education for more than twenty years. Throughout this period Huish has frequently been praised by inspectors for its commitment to continuous improvement, striving to enhance and maintain excellence as standard, and delivering an exceptional experience to all.

The college has developed a strong pastoral tutoring system to support students’ wellbeing and development and offers an extensive list of additional opportunities through their EnRICH programme. Ofsted (2022) noted that the College has a vision to provide high-quality education for all members of the community, based on a broad and holistic educational offer to its students.

“Teachers set high academic standards. In turn, learners set high standards for themselves. They meet these by studying hard and making the most of the excellent opportunities the college offers… The strong local reputation of this college is justified. Leaders and staff establish and promote a culture of respect and high aspirations” (Ofsted 2022).
