Relationships between pupils and staff are generally positive, although attendance remains a concern as some students are not attending regularly, which hinders their learning. The curriculum is well designed, with an ambitious approach that supports academic growth, and there have been improvements in the support for pupils with SEND, although challenges still exist in this area. Leadership is robust and driven by a clear vision for improvement, gaining the support of most stakeholders, even as some parents feel disconnected.
