Strengths
- “Since the school joined the trust, it has been on a rapid journey of improvement.”
- “This ongoing positive transformation permeates every aspect of the school's provision.”
- “Leaders' work to turn the school around is underpinned by their dedication to raising pupils' aspirations and improving their life opportunities.”
To improve
- “However, these improvements are not reflected in pupils' achievement in national tests at the end of Year 11.”
- “This remains well below the national average.”
- “While there are some aspects of provision that need to develop further, particularly increasing pupils' attendance and improving outcomes in national examinations, this journey of improvement is already well underway.”
