"Pupils with SEND and EAL, including those with statements, make good progress overall relative to their ability as a result of the specialist support provided."

"The curriculum is sound, with a particular strength in the good range of outdoor pursuits available."

"The quality of the pupils’ personal development is good as shown by their respectful and confident relationships with adults and with each other.
