Ofsted report
“The school provides a good education for its students. This good provision includes their personal development as well as academic achievement. Students who need extra help are given good support. As a result, they are making at least as good progress as others and the gaps between different groups are closing. Teaching is good. Some is outstanding and no teaching is inadequate. Teachers have high expectations of their students. They plan challenging and interesting lessons, as a result, students achieve well. Students behave well in lessons. Around the school they are very polite, friendly and helpful. Students’ results are above average in English and mathematics.”
