Inadequate Inspected 20 March 2024
Strengths

- “This is because they are respected and understood by fellow pupils, leaders and staff.”
- “Pupils feel safe to be themselves.”
To improve
- “In early 2024, inspectors identified that issues of leadership and staffing at the school had contributed to the decline in the quality of pupils' education.”
- “Subsequently, in 2025, pupils' attainment was below average.”
- “On occasion, some teaching does not make effective enough use of information from checks of pupils' learning, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.”
