Ofsted Report
The inspectors were full of praise for pupils, noting that they show “high levels of commitment to their studies” and that they “value the excellent education they are receiving”. This means that all pupils, including those with SEND, “achieve exceptionally well” and “flourish” at the school. Importantly, the inspectors were equally impressed by pupils’ mature and respectful attitudes. They note that they “enjoy being part of this diverse school community” and are “courteous in their interactions” with their peers and members of staff.
You are very welcome to visit us, even if you don’t end up applying for the post. We are 20 minutes on the tube from Mile End, and just 15 minutes’ drive from East London.
