Cumberland School has been praised for its quality of education and facilities in a recent Ofsted report. The school, which caters for secondary school pupils aged 11 to 16, has also been credited for the good relationships between students and staff and the provision for additional support and therapy where needed.

Martin Hayhurst, Head Teacher at Cumberland School, said: “I am absolutely delighted with the results of this inspection and see it as a real achievement given that we have only been open for 15 months.”

“The staff deserve to be recognised for their hard work and enthusiasm and we hope to build on this success in the future.”
