Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should continue to strengthen the school's reporting structures to governors and governors' strategic capacity, specialist knowledge and expertise, including their understanding of statutory duties, so that they can provide consistent, well-informed challenge across all aspects of the school's work".
