Ofsted report
“Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are making good progress because of the quality of care and support offered. The primary sector, which has been in operation for just four terms, is now flourishing because of high-quality leadership and the establishment of a stable and committed staff. The embryonic sixth form is developing well. Teaching is good, standards are rising and improved support and guidance is enabling many students to meet their ambitious career plans."
