School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Following turbulence in leadership, staffing and governance after the last inspection, you now have enthusiastic, ambitious and settled teams of staff and governors. They are working with you to continue to improve the school, to address pupils’ previous barriers to learning and to help pupils achieve well so that they are prepared successfully for their future lives. Standards have risen since the last inspection. For example, in the past two years there has been significant improvement in the proportion of pupils leaving Year 11 with qualifications in a range of GCSE subjects. The proportion achieving average grades in both English and mathematics in summer 2017 was well above that found in similar schools nationally. Almost all pupils secure a range of nationally recognised qualifications by the time they leave Year 11. The rigorous focus on improving the quality of teaching has contributed effectively to these improvements and to the generally good progress that pupils make, from their entry into school, across a range of subjects. The focus on recruiting specialist subject teachers has also supported improvements and broadened the range of subjects that pupils can study. At the last inspection, leaders were required to ensure that all pupils understood their personalised learning targets. Teachers were required to challenge pupils to think about what they were learning and to work harder. A comprehensive assessment system is now in place that identifies pupils’ starting points on entry.
