The full report can be downloaded at the bottom of this news item as an attachment, as well as on our website here. It will also be on the Ofsted website shortly. 

We are really proud of our report, particularly given the fact that the Ofsted Framework has recently changed, and that Covid-19 has created a difficult climate for all education providers. 

Have a look below to see some of the highlights taken from the report.
