Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education (HMIE Inspection)

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (January 2007)

In 2005, HMIE undertook an inspection of the school. The inspection found that the school's pastoral care, partnership with parents and vocational guidance were all of very high quality and that the school had developed a "culture of continuous improvement". It identified weaknesses in accommodation and facilities as areas in need of attention. The report was met with positive responses by parents, who previously had doubts about how well the school was performing.
