Values and Vision
Liskeard School takes its community college status very seriously, and draws a great deal of pride in its close links with the local community and local schools, as well as the comprehensive nature of its education. To this end, Liskeard attempts to treat all students as individuals, and thus gives them access to a wide range of courses, both onsite and offsite, so they can pursue their preferred interests and qualifications whether academic or vocational.

“Achievement in the sixth form is good and improving. The starting points from GCSE in recent years have been below national average, and progress from this starting point is very good. Recent A-level results were significantly above the national average overall and were particularly strong in business studies, English language, English literature and history.”
Since signing up with Schrole we have been very impressed by the customer service, the modern-looking online platform, the absence of placement fees, and the various other Schrole products that we may be able to benefit from in the future. We have filled a number of positions this year with candidates from Schrole, during a particularly difficult recruitment year for us. The customer service is terrific. It seems that Schrole is leading the way in moving teacher recruitment into the 2020's.
