"I've always enjoyed Business Studies, as it is the perfect blend of maths, essay writing and gaining knowledge of the real world. For both A levels and GCSE, I won't lie - the subject can be trickier than people think, but it's been great having an enthusiastic teacher who is willing to give one on one support, especially when it comes to learning and exam technique. Group and individual work has been beneficial as there's always arguments to be discussed on case studies, plus there are always opportunities to get creative throughout the curriculum, including the Cadburys Competition we had in Year 10. It's fun bringing my theory knowledge into a practical perspective, like in Year 12 for the Young Enterprise Competition, when our team won the Technology award for our product in our region. I have no regrets choosing this subject, not just because of the learning but also the memories made along the way." LP student in Year 13.

From Challenge Partners peer review March 2024:

• ‘Students describe the school as ‘welcoming’, strongly echoed by new staff and students who quickly felt ‘fully part of the community.'
• ‘Staff find that induction and whole school professional development programmes directly inform practice that support both staff and students. One teacher explained how ‘literacy training has improved how I teach languages to students with lower reading ages.’ One member of staff stated that since joining JCS they have ‘become a better teacher.’
• New staff compare JCS to their previous schools and state that facilities at the school are excellent, ‘Stuff works!’
• They describe leaders as approachable with strong communication and a focus on well-being. As a result, new staff feel settled and ready to work quickly, with one concluding, ‘My life is better since joining John Colet.’
• Teachers drive the ethos for students to thrive through their relationships, support and how they advocate for student needs. A wide range of students feel that their teachers are the most important aspect of the school. As a result, students self-regulate whilst working independently, eager to complete projects and extended activities.
