There is a new headteacher in the school that has taken control and increased expectations in relation to behaviour and curriculum. Due to the new leadership internal inspections have suggested the school is Good against the new Ofsted framework. Many pupils follow instructions and focus well on their learning. The students in the school feel safe including the SEN students. Some pupils, including those who attend the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND, appreciate the activities on offer at breaktimes and lunchtimes.
