This inspection rating relates to a predecessor school. When a school converts to an academy, is taken over or closes and reopens as a new school a formal link is created between the new school and the old school, by the Department for Education. Where the new school has not yet been inspected, we show the inspection history of the predecessor school, as we believe it still has significance.

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is an inadequate school Leadership over time has not ensured that the quality of teaching has improved. Actions taken by the trust and school leaders have been too slow to improve standards. As a result, pupils make inadequate progress.
All groups of pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make inadequate progress. Leaders have not taken effective action to improve behaviour. Fixed-term exclusions remain well above the national average and internal truancy and poor behaviour occur frequently.
While leaders have developed plans for improvement, there is little evaluation of the success ...of actions taken. Leaders are unable to say with confidence what works well. Leaders do not effectively evaluate the spending of additional funds for pupils who are disadvantaged, have special educational needs and/or disabilities and who need to catch up.
When bullying occurs, pupils say that they have a member of staff they can go to for advice and support. However, bullying incidents are not well recorded, meaning that leaders are unable to say whether their actions have been successful and whether the bullying has stopped. Leaders have taken action to improve attendance and have seen some improvement across this academic year.
However, this was from a low starting point and attendance remains below the national average. Persistent absence is more than double the national average for pupils who are disadvantaged. Provision for personal, social, health and economic education is weak, particularly for pupils in Year 11 and students in the sixth form.
Some pupils say that they do not receive good support to develop life skills. The school has the following strengths Students in the post-16 provision make good progress from their starting points, particularly in vocational subjects. Leadership is strengthening through external support, new appointments and support from the trust.
However, it is too soon to see the impact on pupils' outcomes.
