Inspectors rated this school acceptable overall, with good personal development, strong attendance, and effective SEN support, especially through the Autism Centre partnership. Teaching quality varies across grades, and progress is weak for gifted students and Arabic-as-second-language learners. Leadership has made acceptable progress since the previous unsatisfactory inspection.
