Ofsted report
“The leadership and development of teaching and learning is emerging as a key strength. Leaders’ evaluations of teaching are accurate and relate closely to the need for teachers to demonstrate that all students make good progress. Leaders and staff have worked successfully to improve their skills and are committed to further improvement for the benefit of all students and the school’s community. Behaviour and safety are good. Students feel safe in school and their behaviour and attitudes to learning have improved since the last inspection. Staff know their students well and relationships are positive. Good levels of care and support are provided for those students whose circumstances may make them vulnerable.”
