The report also highlighted the pupils' confidence in their learning and the calm and orderly environment for learning.
“The SDET Trustees are really proud of the work that the school have done in meeting the standards set out by Ofsted and maintaining our rating of being a Good school given the bar has been raised to still achieve this. Particularly pleasing is the recognition of the safe and nurturing environment we offer, and that our students are given excellent opportunities for interesting and exciting experiences outside of the standard curriculum.” – Rosanne Fleming, Chair of Trustees

The report shows clearly the hard work and dedication by all staff and demonstrates the schools core values and ethos. I am really pleased with the report, as it comments on our curriculum being robust and broad and this is even more so with the new Ofsted framework. We are determined to continue our drive so that the progress of pupils is sustained and continues to improve.”
