Ofsted report 

“Leaders make sure that there is concerted effort by all to improve the quality of teaching, pupils’ achievement and their personal development. Senior and middle leaders monitor their areas of responsibility regularly. They use this information to implement a range of strategies to boost the progress of pupils who are at risk of underachieving. Work with other schools to secure accuracy of assessments, supported by standardised tests, means that leaders and teachers know how well different groups and individual pupils are achieving.”
