Ofsted

In June 2015, the school had its first Ofsted inspection, when the school was adjudged to be "Outstanding".[5] The inspectors noted that the school was an exceptional learning environment.[5] In November 2018 this had declined to "Good" with inspectors observing that "Not enough pupils make good progress from their starting points.The most able pupils do not achieve as well as they should. Disadvantaged pupils do not consistently make strong enough progress to catch up with their peers."[6]
