Ofsted
“Leaders at the school are unwavering in their commitment to involve all staff and pupils in decision making and checking on the effectiveness of the action they undertake. Teachers have a good knowledge of pupils’ academic and personal development which they use well in lessons to provide activities that stimulate thinking and encourage positive attitudes to learning. The activities in some lessons are not as well matched to the needs of the pupils who the school have identified as needing additional help as they are for others.”
