Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is an inadequate school
The school's decline has been characterised by low expectations at all levels. Trustees' and governors' low expectations of senior leaders have resulted in similar expectations of middle leaders, teachers and pupils. ? Pupils, particularly the most able, do not make the progress they should across a range of subjects and year groups. In key subjects, such as humanities and languages, pupils' learning varies far too much. Disadvantaged pupils make much less progress than others nationally. While there is some sign of improvement in some year groups, this is not consistent across the school. Teachers do not routinely take account of what pupils already know, understand and can do. Therefore, they do not challenge pupils to think more deeply and extend their learning.? The 16 to 19 study programmes requirements are not being met. Many Year 13 learners have chosen inappropriate subjects because they were badly advised. Pupils' attendance is below average, particularly for girls and disadvantaged pupils. The school has been ineffective in addressing pupils' poor attendance. Governance is ineffective. Governors do not have an accurate understanding of the school. They fail to challenge school leaders effectively. Middle leadership is not having sufficient impact on improving the quality of teaching. Lack of effective management of teachers' performance has hindered progress in improving teaching. Too many parents are dissatisfied with the school's work. They are particularly concerned about the quality of communication from the school about their child's progress.
The school has the following strengths
Pupils make better progress in mathematics and they attain in line with the national average. The chief executive of the trust has acted to support improvements in the curriculum, assessment and behaviour management since his appointment in September 2016. Page 2 of 12
