Ofsted report
“There has been a strong focus on raising the quality of teaching and the proportion of good or better lessons is increasing. Most teaching is good and some is outstanding. Excellent relationships between teachers and students, and between students themselves, contribute to a positive atmosphere for learning and there is very good individual support for students in lessons."
