Academic Standards
In the November 2005 Ofsted inspection the school was rated Satisfactory, point three on a four point scale. This reflected the low standards of attainment of the students before their entry to the school.
However, in March 2006 the school was rated amongst the 100 most improved schools in the country.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or standards:
“The 1990s, after the reign of terror of academic vandalism, will be a decade of restoration: restoration of meaning, value, beauty, pleasure, and emotion to art and restoration of art to its audience.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain’t-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on—our lost narcissism lives on—in our ego ideal.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
