Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. The school is improving at a very swift pace. Achievement is rising rapidly in most subjects, but particularly so in English.

The gap in achievement between students supported by the pupil premium and others is reducing year-on-year. There has been a very successful drive to improve teaching. Most of the teaching observed by inspectors was of good quality.

Students are polite, well mannered and relate well to each other and to adult visitors to the school. They feel safe and secure. The headteacher has a clarity of vision, which has served to motivate the senior team and all staff.

Improving teaching and raising achievement is c...entral to this vision. The school's tracking of students' progress is simple for all to understand, yet highly effective to make sure students do not slip behind with their achievement. The governing body provides plentiful high-quality support and challenge to school leaders.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : While teachers mark students' work, students do not always make the necessary improvements to it, which affects their progress. Students' work is sometimes carelessly presented. Middle leaders do not all check on the quality of marking and teaching with equal rigour.
