Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Since opening in September 2014, the quality of teaching, learning and assessment and pupils' outcomes have improved significantly.

The leadership team is ambitious and highly capable. Leaders' support to improve the capacity of teaching staff is excellent. Relationships between pupils and staff are a significant strength.

Pupils show a zest for learning and work hard during lessons. As a result, classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils' behaviour is excellent.

Throughout the school, pupils show respect and courtesy towards adults and each other. Support for the personal development and welfare of pupils is first class. Teacher...s discuss challenging subjects with pupils with skill and sensitivity.

As a result, pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. Governors have a clear and accurate understanding of the performance of the school. They effectively hold leaders to account and carefully check that their high expectations are met.

Teachers have secure subject knowledge and use this to guide pupils in their writing. Pupils write well in a range of subjects. Pupils read widely and often.

Support for those who fall behind with reading is effective. As a result, pupils, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make strong reading progress. Mathematics teaching in most lessons challenges pupils.

However, in some classes, the level of challenge for the most able and most-able disadvantaged pupils is not high enough.
