The inspection was led by Bogusia Matusiak-Varley from 8th to 11th February, 2009
This inspection is carried out under agreement with the school and in line with the standard procedures and criteria used by Ofsted in undertaking school inspections in England under section 5 of the Education Act 2005.
Due to reasons of jurisdiction, this inspection does not have any statutory status. The agreement with the school is that the inspection will be conducted and reported to include greater elements of guidance and recommendation than those normally provided in a section 5 inspection.
This inspection is of the 3 to 16 provision within the school, although the character of the school as a recently extended 3 to 19 school is acknowledged throughout.
