Overall effectiveness Good
"All pupils, including those in the primary hub, make good progress over time from their starting points."; "Teaching is typically good. Teachers know pupils very well and plan lessons that are practical, interesting and that focus pupils on their learning."; "An increasing number of pupils gain qualifications in English, mathematics and a range of vocational subjects that prepare them well for further education when they leave school."; "Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. Relationships with adults are excellent because the school cares for its pupils very well. Pupils feel safe in school."; "Not enough teaching is outstanding. Teachers sometimes give the more able pupils work that is too easy and they so do not always make the fast progress that they could."
