Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is a good school.
Students make good, and often very good, progress. The proportion of students gaining five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C including English and mathematics increased significantly in 2013 and was above the national average. The headteacher and the senior leadership team are ambitious for all students in the school. They clearly articulate their commitment to improvement. Students' behaviour is good and they feel proud to be members of the school community. Students feel safe at school and say that the skills learnt there help to keep them safe outside of school. Teaching is good and some is outstanding. Lessons are well structured and planned, and students praise the variety of activities in lessons. The governing body has a good understanding of the school. Governors are committed to improving the outcomes for students and hold senior leaders to account well. The school has a very strong programme of personal development for its students. Inclusive care for individuals lies at the heart of the school's ethos and culture. Devolved leadership enables middle leaders to have a significant input into the life of the school. This has allowed for rapid improvements in some subjects.
It is not yet an outstanding school because
Not enough teaching is outstanding. As a result, students do not make the progress they should in all subjects. Teachers' marking does not always show students what they need to do next to improve and students do not have enough opportunities to respond to feedback. Senior leaders' evaluation of teaching and learning is not focused sharply enough on how well students are learning, and students' outcomes.
The full inspection report is available from this school's page on the Ofsted website.
