Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an inadequate school For too long, pupils at this school have not benefited from a good quality of education.

Pupils' achievement is weak and has shown little improvement. Leaders, including governors, have not taken sufficient action to make the necessary changes to improve the effectiveness of the school. Leaders do not routinely evaluate the impact of their actions, especially regarding the pupil premium funding.

Assessment is weak. This prevents teaching from accurately meeting the needs of pupils, especially the most able. The curriculum is not providing pupils with the knowledge that they need to be successful, especially at key stage 3.

...>Teaching does not routinely enable pupils to build on their prior knowledge and make links in their learning. Attendance is low. The rate of persistent absenteeism is far too high, especially for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

Low-level disruption from some pupils prevents the learning of others. The school has the following strengths In the 10 weeks since her arrival, the headteacher has identified the school's strengths and weakness with candour.

Safeguarding is effective. Pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe. Sixth-form provision is good.

Students benefit from good teaching and support. Pupils' personal development and welfare is good.
