Ofsted report
“Strong relationships between staff and pupils help to keep pupils safe, promote personal development and raise their achievement. The promotion of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is a successful feature of the school. Pupils enter the school with below-average levels of achievement and by the end of Year 11, pupils’ outcomes are above national averages. Teachers’ secure subject knowledge contributes to high levels of engagement by pupils.”
