" The quality of the teaching, the curricular provision and the care, guidance and support provided by the teaching and non-teaching staff is good. In each of these areas, there are significant strengths which are helping pupils of all abilities and from a range of different backgrounds to make good progress academically and particularly good progress in their personal development. The strong emphasis on providing a creative curriculum and a wide range of additional activities interests and motivates the pupils to learn. The teachers use a good variety of teaching techniques and particularly encourage active and collaborative learning, which develops pupils' communication and social skills and their self-confidence. Because of good procedures to track pupils' progress, staff identify quickly which pupils need additional support.
A wide range of intervention procedures, breakfast clubs to promote pupils' learning, and effective use of teaching assistants to support individuals or small groups ensure that the needs of those with learning difficulties and those learning English as an additional language are met effectively. "
