This is a good school Leaders and governors have established a culture of high expectations and aspirations for pupils and staff. Governors hold leaders to account for the work of the school effectively. Leaders have an accurate understanding of the school's strengths and weaknesses.
They know what to do to improve the school and have introduced development plans that are having an impact. Staff are well supported by leaders and enjoy working at the school. They receive high- quality training which helps them to become more effective in their work.
The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good overall. However, there is some variability in quality b...etween subjects. In 2018, pupils' outcomes at the end of Year 11 were in line with national averages.
In some subjects, such as English and art, pupils made stronger progress. Outcomes in the sixth form are good. There is an improving picture across most subjects.
In 2018, students' outcomes were stronger for vocational subjects than academic. Pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. They receive high-quality careers advice and guidance.
Pupils demonstrate good attitudes towards learning. Their behaviour is good. Pupils attend school regularly and are very rarely late.
They conduct themselves well in lessons and around the school. On rare occasions, pupils become distracted in lessons. This is typically when they are not being challenged in their learning.
Leaders have introduced a range of initiatives this year to improve the quality of teaching and to manage pupils' behaviour more effectively. However, leaders' expectations are not fully understood by all staff. As a result, some policies that leaders have introduced are not fully embedded.
In 2018, disadvantaged pupils in Year 11 did not achieve well as other pupils nationally. Leaders have effective plans in place to support disadvantaged pupils currently in the school. As a result, this group of pupils is making stronger progress.
In 2018, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) did not make the progress of which they were capable, given their starting points. Leaders have been quick to address this and pupils with SEND are now making faster progress.
