This is much smaller than the average-sized secondary school. It is a Cooperative Trust School. The proportion of students supported at school action is below average. The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is also below that usually found. The proportion of students known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium is below average. (The pupil premium is extra money for those students known to be eligible for free school meals and those looked after by the local authority.) Most students are White British and there are very few learning English as an additional language. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics. A small number of students in Years 10 and 11 attend alternative provision at South Cheshire College and Reaseheath College. There have been significant staffing changes since the previous inspection, particularly at subject leadership levels. The school is an Investor in Careers and holds Artsmark and the Excellence in Mentoring award as part of its Inclusion Quality Mark status.
