Ofsted report
“The academy provides the students with a good education. There are particular, significant strengths in its excellent provision for the students’ social, moral, spiritual and cultural development, and in the quality of the support given to individual students who either need additional help, or who are at risk of underachieving. The students are polite, good-humoured and dignified young people, who delight in conversation and discussion on a broad range of issues and conduct themselves sensibly and safely around the school.”
