‘Teachers have strong specialist knowledge of the subjects they teach. They are adept at responding to pupils’ daily changing needs, adapting the curriculum and recapping on prior teaching to help pupils learn extremely well.’ OFSTED Nov ‘23

 ‘Leaders and governors recognise the dedication of staff. They make sure their well-being is prioritised. Staff are extremely, and rightly, proud to work at the school. This is especially evident in their sense of pride in delivering an ambitious and well-considered education in and among the busyness of a hospital ward or during medical treatment. OFSTED Nov ‘23
