School leaders, including governors, have an accurate and up-to-date view of the school. They are clear about its strengths and weaknesses and are tenacious and imaginative in their drive to improve the school further. Improvement plans are monitored regularly and thus contribute to ongoing improvements. Parents recognise the good leadership and high standards at the school and because of this it is popular and oversubscribed. School leaders, including governors and the principal, have a sharp focus on ensuring the best outcomes for disadvantaged pupils and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Leaders monitor the teaching, learning and assessment of these groups regularly and ensure that any additional support that pupils require is identified quickly
