Ofsted report
“Students say they feel safe and are well supervised in school. Parents and staff agree that students are well cared for. Recently appointed senior leaders are now improving teaching and assessment effectively. The school's assessment of students' progress is now accurate. The checking of students' progress over time is clearly presented so all staff can now see clearly whether students are achieving sufficiently well. The majority of students behave well in and around the school. Students' behaviour has improved over time and they get on well with each other and with adults.”
