Parent Feedback: At the time of the last inspection, there was a perception from some parents and carers that the school was not providing a good quality of education and, for a minority, this is still the case.
Extracurricular Activities: The physical education (PE) and sport premium funding is used effectively. The funding has also enabled pupils to take part in a wide range of activities, such as indoor athletics.
