• Over the past 4 years, pupils have consistently achieved high standards compared with schools nationally. Some aspects of recent results are lower than the school hoped for but improved strategies are already in place to support all students in meeting challenging targets.

• The Christian ethos within xxx school promotes an exceptional level of pastoral care which enables pupils to make good progress and achieve academic standards that are above expected levels.
