Ofsted
“There are examples of good and outstanding practice where pupils are stretched and challenged. Many teachers use their good subject knowledge effectively to help pupils learn. Improvement is unmistakable. The headteacher and senior leaders have a very good grasp of the school’s priorities. They are honest about weaknesses and tackle them uncompromisingly. Provision for pupils with special educational needs or disabilities in the resources provision is a significant strength.”
