Ofsted report
“English and reading are taught well. Students are confident readers and enjoy reading from texts or from their own work in a range of subjects. One boy described how he loved the feeling of ‘getting into a book’ and students enjoy recording their progress and range of texts in their reading logs. Mathematics is taught well. Inspectors saw good application of mathematics in science and geography.”
