Inspection Report
“Overall, the quality of pupils’ learning was good. In most subject areas, pupils were well motivated and enthusiastic about their learning. Most focused well on their tasks throughout lessons and responded very positively to the opportunities offered to work collaboratively. In a number of subjects good emphasis was given to creativity and independent learning and to debate and discussion.”
