Ofsted
"The new headteacher has an accurate view of how well the school is doing, and knows what needs to be done to bring about improvements. Pupils feel safe in school and say that they are well looked after and supported by their teachers. Leaders have successfully managed the sudden increase in the number of pupils on roll caused by the closure of a local school. Those pupils have been enabled to settle into the school well, and their progress is beginning to accelerate."
