Ofsted December 2022:

• Safeguarding is effective.
•  Leaders have been resolute in making sure that the safety of pupils is paramount.
•  Leaders have developed and unified expert teams of staff, including pastoral, welfare and behaviour, to work alongside the safeguarding team. This has strengthened leaders’ ability to identify concerns very rapidly. It has also ensured that help is quickly at hand for pupils and their families.
•  Pupils say that they know who they can talk to if they have a problem.
•  Leaders have radically overhauled the systems used by the school to improve pupils’ behaviour. This has been very well-received by pupils
•  You have established much higher expectations of pupils’ learning behaviours.
