Ofsted monitoring of Grade 3 schools

Dear Mr Roddy

Thank you for the help which you and your staff gave when I inspected your school on 4 December 2007, for the time you gave to our phone discussions, and for the information which you provided before and during my visit. I would particularly like to thank all your staff and students who gave up their time to speak to me. This letter will be posted on the Ofsted website. Please inform the Regional Inspection Service Provider of any factual inaccuracies within 24 hours of the receipt of this letter. As a result of the inspection on 21 and 22 November 2006, the school was asked to:

 raise standards by ensuring all students, particularly those with learning difficulties, achieve to the best of their ability

 improve the standard of behaviour by reducing incidents of disruption by a minority of students

 improve standards in ICT across the curriculum by ensuring all subjects make the appropriate use of ICT to enhance learning.
