School / Information / Ofsted


Our last Ofsted inspection was in 2007.

Students have an enjoyable and stimulating learning experience because teaching is largely good and, in some cases, outstanding.

The care they provide is outstanding, particularly for vulnerable and looked-after children.

Inspection update

Earlier in 2011, the school received an interim assessment letter from Ofsted, who have not visited the school since 2007. They stated that they do not need to inspect our school until the Summer Term of 2012, at the earliest, since data showed that we were continuing to perform at a high level.

However, we decided to request an Ofsted-type inspection from the local authority, as we believe we are operating at a level of outstanding for overall effectiveness. The inspection took place in late September and inspectors said that we are well placed to be awarded this accolade when Ofsted arrive. In particular, the inspectors praised the excellent behaviour and attitudes to learning of students across the board. We are very proud of them and they are certainly a credit to their families.
