Inspection report
“Almost all young people are well motivated to learn and achieve through their experiences within and beyond the classroom. Young people behave with respect towards each other and staff. They value their opportunities to learn with and from each other in pairs and small groups, and do so effectively… At all stages, young people are becoming more aware of what they are good at.”
