Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher, ably supported by his senior team, sets high standards for pupils.

Most pupils respond well and work hard to achieve good results. Disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make very good progress. Pupils at the end of Year 11 in 2018 made progress that was above average overall.

Most teachers plan activities that support and challenge their pupils. As a result, pupils enjoy their learning. Pupils' progress in English by the end of Year 11 is above average.

The religious ethos in the school provides a strong base for the support of pupils' personal development and w...elfare. Pupils speak with pride about their school and relationships in the school. There is a broad and balanced curriculum which meets pupils' needs.

Despite the small number of sixth-form students, the school offers a relatively wide range of programmes of study. There are many extra-curricular activities for pupils, including in sports and the arts. Pupils, particularly in key stage 3, enjoy these extra learning activities.

The sixth form opened in September 2018. Leadership of the sixth form is effective. Students are making strong progress in a range of subjects.

They value the leadership opportunities open to them. Students also appreciate the support and care they receive. Pupils' progress in mathematics is at best average and sometimes below average.

The Russell Education Trust (the trust) is providing support; however, the impact of this with current pupils is yet to be seen. In a few lessons, especially in mathematics and science, teaching is not effective. In these lessons, teachers do not use information about pupils' abilities to plan suitable learning activities.

In these lessons, teachers do not manage the disruptive behaviour of some pupils effectively, which prevents other pupils from learning. Some teachers do not ensure that pupils improve their work in response to feedback they are given. As a result, some pupils do not make the progress of which they are capable.
