Strengths

“The school wants the best for pupils and students in the sixth form, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
“The behaviour of most pupils is positive because the school’s recent improvements are beginning to have an impact.”
“Staff apply the new behaviour management strategies consistently well.”

To improve

“However, this ambition has not been realised, particularly in key stages 3 and 4.”
“The achievement of pupils has not improved quickly enough.”
“This is because the school has failed to complete vital elements of curriculum review quickly enough in some subjects.”
