Special Measures
In September 2009 an Ofsted inspection placed the school in special measures. The school was taken out of special measures after a 'very successful' OFSTED inspection in January 2011. Headteacher Kate Curtis said: "Particular strengths were noted in Safeguarding procedures and in helping students to feel safe at school. Behaviour was judged to be good overall and the inspectors praised our work on Care, Guidance and Support. The large majority of lessons seen were graded good or outstanding. There was praise for the Leadership and management of the Sixth Form and for leadership across the school."
