Ofsted report
“Teaching is effectively led. Leaders monitor the quality of teaching closely. Teachers and other staff are given the right balance of support and challenge to improve their performance and that of their students. Students typically behave well around the academy site and in lessons. They have positive attitudes to learning and are keen to do well at the academy. Students feel safe at the academy. They are also well aware of most of the activities outside of the academy that carry risk, so are suitably safety conscious. Consistently good teaching across a range of subjects is underpinned by strong subject knowledge and teachers’ ability to use a range of effective strategies.”
