Ofsted
“Leaders and governors have worked very effectively to create a coherent and mutually respectful school community. Pupils are happy and proud of their school and the way it supports them. Behaviour is good and those pupils who find the high expectations at the school challenging are well and effectively supported by committed and knowledgeable staff. Senior leaders have now put in place systems to address the variability in the quality of teaching and pupils’ outcomes.”
