Ofsted report
“Teaching is good. Lessons are well organised. Teachers make sure all pupils are challenged to learn as much as they can. In one third of lessons outstanding teaching led to the pupils making rapid progress.
“Teachers understand what pupils can do and what they need to learn. They use this information well to set targets and track how well pupils are making progress. Pupils at risk of not doing well make good, and sometimes outstanding progress because effective care and support help them to learn.”
