“Teaching across a wide range of curriculum subjects is good.”

“Pupils make good progress from their starting points in a wide range of subjects.”

“Leaders have established a culture of success and an ethos of care and respect.”

“The strong improvements demonstrate that the school is well place to improve further.”

“The curriculum is broad and balanced. Leaders have crafted a curriculum that provides pupils with a strong sense of identity and a deep understanding of the context in which they live.”
