Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders have high aspirations for pupils and are committed to ensuring pupils' success.

Leaders have managed the expansion of the school to include key stage 4 provision very well. They have maintained the good quality of education during this challenging period. Leaders and governors know the school's strengths and areas in need of further development.

They take effective action and continually strive for improvement. Leaders evaluate the impact of their actions and amend their plans accordingly. Leaders have created a culture where all feel valued.

Staff understand and support leaders' ambitions for the school and pupils' succe...ss. Most teachers have high expectations of what pupils are able to achieve. They plan activities which challenge and interest pupils.

Leaders promote pupils' personal development and well-being in all aspects of school life. Pupils are well cared for and benefit from strong pastoral support and guidance. Pupils are polite, confident and courteous.

They respect those who have views that differ from their own. Pupils have a strong belief in equality. The curriculum is broad and balanced.

Leaders continually review the curriculum to ensure that it meets pupils' interests and helps them to make good progress. A range of extra-curricular and enriching experiences complements the curriculum. Heads of department provide strong leadership for their teams.

Most pupils make good progress in all year groups and subjects. Disadvantaged pupils do not make as much progress as others but the progress of this group of pupils is improving. Attendance is consistently above the national average.

The proportion of disadvantaged pupils who are persistently absent from school is higher than average. Leaders do not have a strategic overview of the provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These pupils make less progress than others.

Occasionally, teachers do not use information about what pupils are able to achieve to challenge them. This sometimes leads to low-level disruption and a lack of pupil motivation. Not all staff consistently apply the school's assessment and feedback policies.
