Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is an inadequate school
Senior leaders and the governing body have failed to improve standards and pupil outcomes. Leaders have not ensured that pupils make enough progress from their starting points. The quality of teaching is highly variable across different subjects. Some teachers have low expectations of pupils. Consequently, outcomes are low in many GCSE subjects. Leaders have not ensured that pupil premium funding has a positive impact on the progress of disadvantaged pupils. The most able pupils make less progress from their starting points than similar pupils nationally. Assessment at key stage 3 is inaccurate. Consequently, leaders are not able to track pupil progress precisely and have an overgenerous view of the quality of education they provide. Leaders do not rigorously monitor the impact of the actions they take to improve the school. This limits the capacity of the school to improve. Leaders have not established a positive ethos in the main school. Pupils identify that the level of peer respect is not high enough. A small minority of pupils across subjects and year groups disrupt learning. Some pupils do not have a positive attitude to learning. Attendance is low. Leaders' actions to ensure that pupils attend school regularly are ineffective. Governors have not been effective in evaluating the impact of leaders' actions to improve outcomes.
The school has the following strengths
The leadership of the sixth form is effective. Students make good progress. Safeguarding is effective. The careers information, advice and guidance programme in key stage 4 and the sixth form is good. Pupils and students are well prepared to move onto new destinations. Page 2 of 12
