Following the March 2017 Ofsted inspection an Interim Board was appointed to fulfil all functions of a governing body and to conduct the school in a way that ensures improvement and promotes high standards of educational achievement.

The main purpose of the IB is to secure governance of the school and develop a sound basis for school improvement so that the school makes rapid and sustainable improvements in response to areas for improvement as identified by Ofsted full and monitoring inspections.
