Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The principal leads the school with passion and determination. Leaders, including governors and the trust, are ambitious for pupils in the school.

Their outstanding leadership has led to better teaching, much improved behaviour and a rapid improvement in outcomes for pupils over the last three years. Senior and middle leaders know what the school's strengths are, and those aspects which could be even better. Appropriate steps to promote further improvement are underway.

The present leadership team quickly recognised that behaviour and attitudes to learning were not good enough. Their prompt actions have had real impact, and teachers and p...upils can see the improvements. The stricter code of conduct led initially to an increase in exclusions but the number of pupils excluded is decreasing rapidly.

Teaching is good overall, and progress made by pupils has increased rapidly over the last three years. Leaders continue to take effective action to eradicate weaker teaching and increase the proportion of good or better teaching. However, they accept that there is still some variability.

The 2018 GCSE results were a triumph for the school. The improvements seen demonstrated very clearly the impact of leaders' strategies. Current pupils, too, are making good progress overall.

Governors have the knowledge, skills and confidence to provide robust challenge to senior leaders. They know the school well and are clear about what more needs to be done. The Delta Trust has provided highly effective support and an extra layer of professional challenge for leaders.

The value of links with trust staff and other trust schools is very clear. Safeguarding is effective, and leadership of this area is strong. As a result of appropriate training, staff are vigilant, and pupils feel safe.

Middle leaders have developed their skills considerably as a group and they are now a strength of the school. There is a clear rationale to the curriculum, which puts the needs of individual pupils first. This is seen most clearly in the flexible way bespoke support is provided for pupils.

Information about this school

The school is a smaller than average-sized secondary school. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported through the pupil premium is above average. The proportion of pupils who receive support for SEND is above the national average.

The proportion of pupils who have an education, health and care plan is broadly in line with the national average. The school opened on 1 January 2013 and is sponsored by the Delta Academies Trust (Delta). Delta is a multi-academy trust (MAT) and the Delta Board of Directors is the legal governing body of all academies within the MAT.

Each Academy within the group has an Academy Advisory Body (AAB), which is a sub-committee of the main Delta Board. The structure of the trust's governance and management can be found on the school's website. Pupil numbers have increased since the previous inspection.

The school uses five alternative providers for a total of six pupils. They are the Darley Centre, the Haxey Centre, Act Fast, Changing Lives and TAMNET, the local authority medical needs team. The current principal was in post at the previous inspection.
