CAMBORNE Science & International Academy (CSIA), part of the Athena Learning Trust, are celebrating as their Sixth Form (VI) provision has been rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.

It is currently the only outstanding school Sixth Form in Cornwall.

Inspectors noted that as well as expecting the highest standards of behaviour, leaders have constructed a well sequenced, broad and relevant curriculum. This is particularly well designed and implemented in the sixth form.

They also highlighted the careers guidance at CSIA, where pupils appreciate the careers guidance they receive, including help to secure useful work experience placements.

Students in the sixth form feel particularly well supported. They say they have had much help and guidance to secure appropriate university courses or apprenticeships.

Emma Haase, principal of Camborne Science and International Academy, said: “We are absolutely thrilled that Ofsted rated our Sixth Form provision as Outstanding in January and this coupled with the remarkable results, means there could not be a better time to consider joining us! 

“Everyone at CSIA is committed to empowering young people to achieve their full potential so they can pursue their ambitions with confidence.”

The VI Academy has an impressive 100 per cent pass rate since 2015.
