Dear Parents/Carers

As I am sure you are aware we were visited by OFSTED on the 27th and 28th Jan 2010 as part of a school inspection under the new OFSTED framework. We were confident that the inspectors would judge the school as we did, and would agree that the school has improved significantly since its last inspection in May 2007.

We are now pleased to link above to our recent OFSTED report and hope that you find it an interesting and useful summary of your child's school, as well as a letter to students from the inspectors.

We are particularly pleased with the significant improvements that the school has made and the confidence and reassurance it provides in the current leadership of the school. It has also recognised the school's capacity to further improve and make our local community school even better. We have also significantly increased the number of good features that the school has been awarded.

We would like to formally thank all staff, parents, governors and partners for all their hard work and contribution since the last inspection. More importantly though, we would like to thank all of our students who continue to be a real credit to the school; we are exceptionally proud of them all.

Yours sincerely

R N Hoddle

Headteacher
