Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher leads with an unrelenting commitment to high-quality education, continual improvement and stringent moral purpose. Leaders and staff steadfastly share these aspirations. Teaching is consistently strong in all key stages.

Teachers plan lessons well and use their good subject knowledge to deliver lessons with enthusiasm. However, teaching does not always challenge the most able pupils to reach the highest levels. Pupils make strong progress across a range of subjects.

Consistently applied feedback from teachers supports pupils in rectifying mistakes and addressing misconceptions. All staff are committed to providing high-qua...lity support and care for all members of the school. Relationships between staff and pupils are very strong and pupils are very positive about their school.

Pupils' behaviour is excellent in lessons and around school. Pupils attend school frequently because they value their education. The curriculum has been adapted to meet the needs of pupils.

In early years, children learn to read, write and develop their mathematical skills effectively. The setting is busy and purposeful. Consequently, children are happy to learn.

However, a minority of staff do not fully understand the needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Students in the sixth form make good progress because of well-planned teaching, a curriculum based on students' needs, high-quality careers advice and strong care and guidance. Governors are very knowledgeable.

They have a deep understanding of the school's strengths and weaknesses and play a vital role in the life of the school. Additional funding for disadvantaged pupils is used increasingly effectively. However, overall, these pupils do not make as much progress as they could.

Pupils have a deep understanding of the school's values, which form an integral part of lessons, assemblies and daily reflection.
