• 
  The trust and the school have wisely identified priorities for improvement. They have thought carefully about the appropriate pace of change so that the improvements that they have made can be sustained over the long term. 

  The trust has supported the school by appointing new, experienced staff in various positions. This has strengthened the school’s capacity for improvement.

  Trustees and members of the local governing body know the school well and provide appropriate challenge and support to leaders.

• The model for prayer and liturgy is exceptionally strong. This is making a lasting impact on the formation of students as well as staff.
