Sabina - YEAR 12

"I chose Barking Abbey Sixth Form because it offers the support crucial for ensuring that you perform to the best of your ability. I continued my studies at Barking Abbey School from my GCSEs where I began to form a bond with the staff and teachers. From then I noticed the incredible support given from academic help as well as aiding ensuring good welfare is kept. 

Doing quite contrasting subjects has been quite difficult to juggle however the staff have been extremely helpful and the quality of teaching is great. The turn-over for work is quick and precise and essays are marked and given full feedback ensuring the best possible results can be achieved. The teachers are always happy to help and nearer exam season additional revision sessions provided the opportunity to iron out any gaps. Overall the Sixth Form has helped give me a good foundation for getting the grades and helped me fully understand the options available to me post Sixth Form."
