As for new head Gill Ross and her team, Ofsted reported that "good leadership and management have enabled the school to identify successfully its key priorities and actions".

Governors' chair Howard Pallis said: "This is an exceptional achievement by a head who has been in the post for just one term. It's confirmation that, under Mrs Ross's leadership, Simon Marks is going from strength to strength." The school roll now stood at 200, its highest ever.
