Ofsted report

“The principal’s excellent leadership inspires trust and confidence in the whole-school community. Leaders and managers have taken determined action in response to the previous inspection and successfully brought about rapid improvements. Attendance has improved for all groups of pupils. This is also the case for pupils who were persistently absent. Leaders and managers have very high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils’ behaviour is now outstanding. Pupils take a pride in their appearance and conduct themselves in a mature and sensible manner in lessons and around the school.”
