“The Executive Principal, supported by the Head of School, has applied much better systems to check teaching and the school’s work. He has restructured the senior leadership team to be more effective in driving improvements forward. Improved collection and interpretation of data describing students’ progress is at the heart of the school’s efforts to improve achievement rapidly. New systems are used to assess attainment and monitor progress."
