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 a good school. Leadership, including governance, is good and improving. The leadership team and governors have worked together successfully to raise standards.
As a result, all groups of students are now making rapid and sustained progress and most are achieving well. The improvement in students' achievement is a direct result of the school's drive to improve teaching and learning. Teaching is now good and improving.
Teachers have high expectations and are ambitious for students' achievement. The school's curriculum is good. It offers students a range of appropriate and varied courses and qualifications at Key Stage 4 and meets the needs of students of... all abilities.
Relationships between teachers and students are good. Students are appreciative of changes in the school and say that these have helped to improve their behaviour and achievement. Students say they feel safe in school.
Behaviour is good. There are wide-ranging opportunities for students to deepen their experiences through clubs, trips and competitions, which are very popular. The partnership built with Eon during the 2012 Olympics has been especially beneficial.
Students are enthusiastic about the opportunities they have to represent the school at sport. It is not yet an outstanding school because: Teaching is not yet outstanding. Teachers do not use data as effectively as they could to plan lessons that provide challenge for students of all abilities to make the best progress possible.
Teachers do not always make sure that following marking, students respond to the comments they make for improvement.
