Ofsted report

“The headteacher and other senior leaders have transformed the culture of the school. They show clear and firm leadership and have supported staff and pupils to bring about improvements in all aspects of their work. The gaps in achievement between disadvantaged pupils, disabled pupils and those with special educational needs and others are closing quickly.
