Strengths
- “The school has high aspirations for its pupils.”
- “Many areas of the curriculum have been successfully redesigned in recent years to increase ambition.”
- “As a result, pupils now benefit from a better quality of education than before, allowing them to achieve more highly.”
To improve
- “However, actions to improve attendance are not reaching some pupils who are missing out on the improved educations that the school offers.”
- “The school’s published outcomes in 2024 were below national averages, however.”
- “This was in part due to poor pupil attendance and high levels of in-year transfers into the school in key stage 4.”
