Ofsted report
“Students thrive in the aspirational, friendly, safe and caring atmosphere. As a result, all achieve well and make good progress from their average starting points on entry. From the last inspection until 2011, students’ attainment rose steadily. Most teaching is good and some is outstanding. Such teaching is interesting, intriguing and captivating. In the most effective lessons, teachers’ strong subject knowledge, perceptive questioning and feedback builds students’ knowledge, understanding and skills well. Students behave well, attend regularly and display very good attitudes to learning. They, their parents and staff report positively about behaviour across school.”
