4. What was good
 Most lessons feature good learning with a significant
minority that are outstanding. Most lessons are
planned well and challenge and enthuse the students.
 Recent significant improvements in marking and
assessment procedures contribute well to improved
progress over time. Students are now provided with
better and clearer information about their work and
what they need to do to improve.

posted on the school blog- sharing of good practice
