Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an inadequate school Leaders have failed to halt a decline in standards in recent years.

Although leaders have taken many actions to eliminate weaknesses, these actions have not had the desired impact. Leaders do not ensure that the curriculum and teaching are planned well. As a result, pupils do not make the progress of which they are capable.

Teachers do not comply consistently with school policies for improving teaching. Middle and senior leaders' monitoring of teaching is ineffective, so weak practice continues. Teaching is not good enough.

It is inconsistent within and across subjects and, consequently, pupils receive a varied experience ...in their learning, which is hindering their progress. Teachers' expectations of pupils are not high enough, especially of the most able pupils. Teachers do not provide tasks which stretch and challenge pupils adequately in their learning.

Leaders do not use additional funding, such as the pupil premium, effectively. As a result, vulnerable pupils are not making adequate progress. Leaders do not provide a suitable curriculum for spiritual, moral, social and cultural education.

Pupils have very little understanding of British values, so they have too little appreciation of democratic processes, the value of tolerance and the influences of extremism. Leaders have not established a suitable careers education programme from Years 8 to 11. Pupils are not prepared well for their next stage of education, employment or training.

Pupils' personal, social, health and economic education has little impact on their emotional well-being or understanding. Many pupils do not feel confident about the way staff deal with bullying. They do not feel that staff listen and react to their concerns.

The school has the following strengths Behaviour has improved in the school and, in most lessons, pupils are ready to learn and low-level disruption is less frequent. Attendance and persistent absence have improved so that they are in line with the national average.
