Strengths
- “Since the last inspection, pupils are benefiting from considerable improvements to the quality of education that they receive.”
- “Strong and determined leadership has driven positive change and the school’s standards are starting to rise.”
- “The school wants every pupil to do well in their studies.”
To improve
- “Despite this, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “However, weaknesses in the delivery of the curriculum prevent some pupils, particularly pupils with SEND and those who are disadvantaged, from reaching their full potential.”
- “However, while these improvements are benefiting current pupils at the school, they are not reflected in the published 2024 key stage 4 data.”
