Ofsted
“The overall quality of teaching over time is outstanding. Teachers and teaching assistants have high expectations of students and make sure that work is carefully matched to their different abilities. The headteacher’s ambition of creating a first-class education for the local community has been achieved through his passion for setting high standards and aspirations for staff and students. Knowing the school as well as he does has meant that he has been quick to implement changes, especially in those areas where students are not making the progress they should”.
