Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Most teaching is good or better. The majority of teachers skilfully use information on individual students to ensure that students make at least good progress.

English GCSE results improved in 2013 after a dip in 2012. Students gained higher than average GCSE results and made good progress. The sixth form is good.

Parliament Hill students studying in the sixth form consortium are provided for well and achieve good outcomes. Governors and the senior leadership team hold share a clear, ambitious vision for the future direction of the school. This is, in turn, shared by all staff.

Students' attitudes to the school are excellent. St...udents speak of the school being an extended family where they feel safe and supported at all times. Leaders and managers at all levels are fully committed to ensuring success for all students at Parliament Hill.

The school monitors teaching carefully and has a clear plan for its further development. Relationships and pastoral care within the school are of the highest quality. Students' behaviour is outstanding.

They feel very safe, and are proud and happy to be at school. It is not yet an outstanding school because : There is still a gap in outcomes at GCSE between those pupils for whom the school receives additional funding and all other students. A small minority of teaching requires improvement.

This is as a result of a small number of teachers not making sufficient use of information on prior achievement when planning lessons. There remains variation between different subjects at GCSE. There is some inconsistency in teachers' marking and feedback.

All marking needs to identify how learning can improve and then allow students to take the next step to improve their work.

The proportion of students from minority ethnic groups is much higher than the national average. The single biggest ethnic group is White British students; proportionally, this is twice as big as the next largest pupil group, those from any other White background.
