The board's relationship with its community is open, positive and constructive. The board functions effectively and focuses appropriately on the provision of high quality learning programmes and teaching. A number of factors contribute to the achievement of students in the school. These include strong professional leadership, the implementation of the statement of intent, a commitment to school and staff improvement and many sound teaching practices. The development of team work and the way the staff view the school as a corporate whole are particular features.
Teachers provide many curriculum and support programmes which are appropriate and well organised.
These programmes help to create an environment which is conducive to learning. The special programmes are well designed and implemented and reflect the board's commitment to meeting the needs of all students. Trustees and the principal have identified issues which they deem to be barriers to learning and they are attempting to be proactive to minimise these. The board is justifiably proud of the new administration block which was built after lengthy negotiations with the Ministry of Education. While the building was being constructed staff worked hard to make their programmes as normal as possible despite periods of major dislocation.
