What the school inspection says

Date of report
2021
Verdict *
Good
“Leaders have raised expectations of how pupils should behave. Pupils have learned new routines and risen to leaders’ expectations. … The school places particular value on the importance of learning a language. All pupils learn either French or German. … The school has seen a period of rapid change since the previous inspection. A new headteacher and several new senior leaders have joined the school. Together, they have ensured high standards in pupils’ behaviour.”
