Inspection report
“The school is making good progress towards improving how well young people learn and achieve. Young people now have a greater sense of identity with their school and wear their new school uniform with pride. The ethos of the school has improved considerably and is very positive. In lessons observed, almost all young people behave well and continue to enjoy positive relationships with each other and their teachers. Teachers increasingly use young people’s views to improve learning and teaching.”
