Our client school at its last inspection in 2017, received a "Good" grading by Ofsted with "Outstanding" features. The school has shown steady improvements over the last number of years, and has achieved a place in The Top 100 Most Improved Schools in the country due to their GCSE results. The driving force behind the improvements is the Principal, who encouraged a climate for learning and ensures all his senior management team are directly impacting their lines in terms of teaching and learning, along with behaviour and safety. The school has excellent provisions in place for students to develop socially, emotionally and academically and students behaviour reflects how well they feel looked after at school. The school has recently been commended for the excellent work in supporting the learning of students with additional needs.
