This is a good school. The Principal and senior leaders have rapidly established a good school, with a clear vision, culture and ethos.
Students who entered the academy in Year 7 with skills below those of their peers are rapidly closing this gap. Governors have a clear understanding of the academy's performance and provide both challenge and support for the academy's leaders. The academy's strong pastoral system has supported the creation of a strong community, focused on learning.
Most teaching is of at least good quality and some is outstanding. Students make good progress as a result. Students behave well in lessons and around the academy in general. <...br/>They feel safe and proud to attend the academy. Incidences of bullying are very rare. The academy provides an extensive and varied curriculum, allowing all students to engage with activities that enrich their life experience.
It is not yet an outstanding school because : A small proportion of teaching requires improvement, because not all teachers are making good use of information on students' prior learning when planning lessons. Achievement, while good across the academy, is not yet consistently outstanding across all subjects. The academy's evaluation of learning has not always taken sufficient account of students' progress from their initial starting points, and as a result development planning is not yet focused sharply enough on achievement across all groups and all subjects.
