“Pupils behave maturely and responsibly throughout the day.”
“Any pupils who disrupt learning realise very quickly that this is unacceptable.”

To improve

“Leaders are still developing the academic transition to ensure that pupils are well prepared for what they will go on to study.”
“Weaker readers in Years 9 and 10, except those pupils with SEND, are not supported well enough to improve their reading.”
“They do not read regularly enough and are not provided with suitable books to improve their decoding skills.”
