Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is a good school.
Standards at GCSE are rising rapidly and are now above the national average. Students' achievement in English is improving well and students show good enjoyment of their work in the subject. Achievement in mathematics is outstanding, because students work hard and are very well taught. The sixth form is good. Students achieve well in science subjects, particularly at A level. The support for disabled students and those who have special educational needs is very well managed and these students make outstanding progress. Students supported by the pupil premium achieve well and the gap between these students and others is now very small. Teachers use their very good knowledge of their subjects and of individual students to plan demanding work that interests them. Teachers develop their skills very well through a very carefully targeted training programme. Students are very keen to do well and show this by listening carefully and taking advantage of the very good range of opportunities for learning they are offered outside lesson times. The principal and senior managers communicate what the academy needs to do further to improve very well to all staff. Information about students' progress is used highly effectively by senior leaders, subject leaders and year leaders to check the success of teaching, plan extra support for individual students, and set demanding targets for both students and staff. The governing body and partners from the academy trust check progress against academy plans very carefully. They gather a wide range of information about the academy's performance, which enables them to offer very good support and challenge to academy leaders and to help shape the future direction of the academy.
It is not yet an outstanding school because
Achievement is not consistently high in a wide enough range of sixth form subjects. Some teachers do not use questioning to check students' understanding carefully enough, especially with younger students. Teachers' marking is not always frequent or detailed enough to make sure students know what they need to do to improve their work.
The full inspection report is available from this school's page on the Ofsted website.
