Summary of the progress made in implementing the action plan

This monitoring visit was completed at the request of the Department for Education to monitor progress since the last full inspection. At that inspection, inspectors noted four breaches of national minimum standards. They also raised one recommendation. At this visit, three of the breaches of national minimum standards and the recommendation are met. One national minimum standard was not met.

Summary of the progress made in implementing the action plan

School leaders have begun work on improving the boarding accommodation. They have repaired damaged walls, replaced carpets, and painted throughout. Leaders have better considered fire risks, and fire doors have been repaired to improve their fire resistance. While there are improvements, the boarding accommodation is not yet of a good quality throughout for children. There are further works planned in the coming months.

Summary of the progress made in implementing the action plan

Governors have visited the boarding accommodation several times since the full inspection. They provide feedback to the headteacher and gain insight into the working of the school. Leaders are developing their oversight of practice with improved monitoring systems. This means that they now have better oversight of the items required by the national minimum standards.
