This inspection rating relates to a predecessor school. When a school converts to an academy, is taken over or closes and reopens as a new school a formal link is created between the new school and the old school, by the Department for Education. Where the new school has not yet been inspected, we show the inspection history of the predecessor school, as we believe it still has significance.

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is a good school. Students make excellent progress in mathematics and science but good progress in English. Most teachers plan engaging lessons with creative resources and there are many opportunities for collaborative work, peer discussions and interactions.
Most lessons are planned with a numeracy link and there are many discussions around mathematical concepts. Students behave well in lessons and around the school. They enjoy coming to school and are punctual to school and lessons.
Students' books are marked regularly with detailed feedback from teachers and they are given many opportunities to improve their work. Students enjoy a wide range of subject...s and the many enrichment activities or sports develop their social skills well and enable them to make independent and mature decisions. The headteacher, governors and senior leaders have high expectations of the students and monitor teaching regularly and accurately.
Consequently, the quality of teaching is good and students achieve well. Leaders ensure that there is a range of subjects that challenge students and enable them to further their education. The pupil premium funding is used effectively to ensure that eligible students do as well as their peers.
Throughout the school they make better progress than their peers. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Students' progress in English is not as rapid as in mathematics and science. There is sometimes not enough support in lessons to develop students' literacy skills.
There are insufficient opportunities for students to explore different ways in which meaning is conveyed in a text. Some activities or tasks in lessons do not always meet the needs of the most able and provide appropriate challenge.
Information about this school
The school is smaller than the average-sized secondary school.
Approximately a third of the students are eligible for support through the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for children in the care of the local authority, those known to be eligible for free school meals and the children of service families. This figure is well above the national average. There are very few students in the care of the local authority and none from service families.
The proportion of students who speak English as an additional language is well above the national average. A tiny number of students are from White British backgrounds and most are of Pakistani, Black Caribbean and any other Asian heritage. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs supported at school action is slightly below the national average, and the proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is well above the national figure.
The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for students' attainment and progress. There are currently no students who attend off-site alternative provision either on a full- or part-time basis. The school's buildings are over 100 years old and the playground is very small.
