"Teaching is effective.  It is particularly strong in the early years, primary phase and sixth form."

"Children get off to an exceptional start in early years.  They settle very well into school life and make strong progress due to the effective teaching in this well-led provision."

The sixth form is effective.  Almost all students achieve the qualifications they need to go on to their chosen higher education courses."
