EDUCATION TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD
​& CHANGE IT FOR THE BETTER

Welcome to our Post 16 website. We are a highly successful sixth form centre, one of the best in Greenwich. We aim for all our students to be the best they can be academically, whilst developing morally, socially and emotionally too. A good education is about a lot more than simply getting excellent grades: it is about forming the character of a person in such a way that they excel in whatever they choose to do professionally in the future, and flourish also in their personal life. It is education to understand the world and change it for the better.

LATEST NEWS:

Rosie D joint second in Gonville and Caius College Cambridge's Prize Competition in Engineering

Rosie in Year 13 has come joint second in Gonville and Caius College Cambridge's Schools Prize Competition in Engineering, with her meticulously constructed analysis of the rationale for the augmentation of Felixstowe Port's truck-only distribution system with a  freight rail link to distribution hubs in order to increase efficiency and decrease environmental impact from road transport.  It is an extremely impressive piece of work which models the impact of such a decision across a 25-year period.

The college said: " We would very much like to feature some of your work on our College website, and will be in touch with you further about this shortly. Our judges are extremely keen to communicate to you how very highly you impressed all of them. Your report was well argued, with impressive use of estimated costs to arrive at your decision. We very much hope you continue your thinking and reading about the subject."

Rosie's prize includes the offer of a completely personalised tour of Gonville and Caius College as soon as circumstances permit.

​Tallis Post-16 judged Outstanding by OFSTED

Tallis Post-16 was inspected in December 2018 and the OFSTED report was published in January 2019.  See the extract from our inspection report – we think it is honest and fair. It’s also glowing! OFSTED say we offer outstanding teaching, meticulous advice about university and art colleges, are generally very well organised, are highly inclusive, are competently led – high praise! - and much else that is lovely to hear. Sometimes it’s nice to be told what you already know!
