Reports

As a school and alternative provision we work with several services to quality assure our practice. These assessments are internal, external, commissioned and standadised. We store reprts and results in this area for our parents and students to view. 

As a new school we have recently recieved our first ofsted inspection. As an independent school we have 34 standards that we have to demonstrate which are judged on. We were very pleased with some of the areas of the inspection as it identified the team and students hard work and dedication into developing a nurturing school community. However it also highlighted 4 standards that we needed to improve. Since the inspection our dedicated staff team has made many improvements and look forward to welcoming the inspectors back in the near future to demonstrate the following:

Updated curriculum:
