Ofsted
“Within lessons, students at all levels work with enthusiasm and are obviously keen to learn. The positive relationships between staff and students leads to high levels of commitment and a desire to do well. A feature of many lessons is the way in which students work and learn from each other, such as adopting leadership roles in physical education. In these lessons, students have extremely mature attitudes and value the opinion of other students.”
