“Since the last inspection, the standards students reach in English and mathematics have risen rapidly and their progress has increased considerably. Students of all backgrounds and abilities make good progress, reflecting the school’s positive approach to ensuring that all have an equal chance to succeed. Teaching is good. Teachers plan interesting lessons and are skilled at asking stimulating questions that make students think hard about what they are learning. Students who need extra help in lessons receive good support from teachers and other adults. This allows these students to catch up with their classmates.”
