Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is a good school.
The percentage of students achieving good GCSE grades in English and mathematics has been at least above average since the previous inspection. In 2014, the percentage of students attaining the EBacc qualification matched the national average. Students behave well and all of them get on well together. The vast majority are ambitious and work hard in lessons. Students make good progress in practically all their lessons and standards are rising rapidly. The sixth form is good. It has been transformed during the last couple of years. Students study carefully balanced combinations of subjects which prepare them well for their future lives. Students mature into confident young adults. The pastoral care and support for students are outstanding. Students value the safety and security the academy gives them. They and their parents and carers appreciate its valuable work in the community. Students enjoy academy life: ‘I like loads of things, especially the staff’ (Year 9 student). The Principal’s dynamic leadership has generated rapid improvements in many areas of the academy’s work. She is ably backed by the ARK organisation and the governing body. The senior leadership team, middle leaders and all other staff are fully supportive of the Principal’s plans for the future; they work effectively and energetically to deliver them. Senior leaders organise high-quality professional development for all staff and regularly use external specialists to validate the academy’s work. Both these contribute to focus on success for all. Teaching has moved into a higher gear in recent months. Teachers and support staff are equally focused on making students’ learning enjoyable and successful. The range of subjects taught is innovative. Provision for students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is strong. Health and safety issues which students encounter outside school are tackled head-on and fearlessly by the academy.
It is not yet an outstanding school because:
Standards and progress are not strong enough in a few GCSE and sixth form subjects. Too few students attain the top examination grades. The quality of marking varies in a few subjects. Work given to the most able students is not always hard enough for them. Lessons to improve students’ reading and writing are not as effective as they need to be. Progress of students with special educational needs is held back if, as their learning develops, adjustments are not made to the support they receive.
The full inspection report is available from this school's page on the Ofsted website.
