The feedback from the moderator was that our work in this area was second to none and the joined up nature of our provision was exceptional.

He had never see a secondary school like this before and he had no caveat or areas to improve. He said the students and staff he met today were fantastic and he commented that the students said it felt more like belonging to a family rather than a school.

A massive thanks to Ms D Gorasia and Ms D Strat who have worked tirelessly to prepare the audit, paperwork and collate the resources for the successful bid, and to all those involved in supporting and delivering our excellent provision.

 Outstanding Judgement

This essentially gives us an Outstanding judgement for the Personal Development section of the Ofsted Inspection and reflects to culture of excellence and ambition we foster for our young people and staff on a daily basis.

Well done!
