Academic standards

In the report of the Ofsted inspection on 5 June 2006 the school was rated Good, point two on a four-point scale. Each topic was rated outstanding or good with, notably, none less than good. However, the highest possible award of Outstanding was given for the Personal development and well-being of the pupils.[3][5]

A two-year project started in April 2004 in which children made radio shows. Bishop Ellis worked with Dovelands Primary School, Fullhurst Community College and Takeover Radio.[6]
