“The headteacher’s very clear vision of academic improvement is accompanied by a determination to ensure that the school also meets pupils’ personal and social needs… Other partnerships are good with some aspects being outstanding. The links with the university and the local theatre are extremely productive and benefit pupils very well. Students play chess with the pupils… while pupils’ aspirations are heightened when auditioning in front of professional actors. These links also contribute to the school’s outstanding community cohesion work.”
