School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. There have been significant changes since the previous inspection. These include the opening of another school site at Sherwood Hill Campus, increasing pupil numbers and, from September 2017, your appointment as headteacher. During the inspection, pupils said that they enjoy coming to school and are happy. They like activities such as swimming, horse riding, work experience and shopping. On the day of the inspection, pupils were well behaved both in lessons and at other times of the day. Relationships between pupils and staff are strong. Parents and carers told inspectors that you and your staff work well with families and they feel strongly supported. They said that you and your team are very approachable and go over and above expectations, to bring out the good qualities in pupils. Parents also said that they are very happy with the school and that you communicate effectively with them. They said that pupils make strong progress both academically and emotionally. Your staff feel supported by you and your senior leaders and are highly appreciative of the training you provide to improve their teaching skills. They said that you are committed to their growth and development and describe the school as a ‘learning community’. Staff say that they are proud to be a member of staff at the school and enjoy working there.
