 Our recent Ofsted inspection, in February 2018, judged that our school remains a ‘good school’. The report recognised that the examination results gained by Year 11 pupils have continued to improve and outcomes have been consistently above the national average across subjects. We estimate that PP and SEN pupils gained a P8 grade of +0.4 this year. Inspectors observed excellent standards of conduct around the school.
