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."

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or measures:
“... [the] special relation of women to children, in which the heart of the world has always felt there was something sacred, serves to impress upon women certain tendencies, to endow them with certain virtues ... which will render them of special value in public affairs.”
—Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)
“Him the Almighty Power
Hurld headlong flaming from th’ Ethereal Skie
With hideous ruine and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
Who durst defie th’ Omnipotent to Arms.
Nine times the Space that measures Day and Night
To mortal men, he with his horrid crew
Lay vanquisht, rowling in the fiery Gulfe”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
