As members of a very harmonious community, students from diverse cultural backgrounds take a full part in the life of the school. The quality of teaching is good. Students make good progress. Students who are from backgrounds with above average social deprivation make particularly good progress. Teaching is good and a significant proportion is outstanding.”
