Ofsted report
“Some teaching is outstanding, including in the sixth form. Teachers make sure they help students improve their literacy in lots of different subjects. Students’ behaviour is outstanding both in lessons and around the school. They attend well, are punctual and are very keen to learn and succeed. Relationships between all members of the school are strong and students are supported by a 'can do', caring ethos.”
