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 an inadequate school Although some improvements are now being made, the impact of leaders' actions over time has been too slow to materialise. Over the last two years, the progress of pupils in most subjects by the end of Year 11 has been poor.
Current pupils are not making enough progress in English, mathematics and science. The quality of teaching, learning and assessment across all year groups is too variable. Teachers' expectations of what pupils can do and what they can achieve as a result are not high enough.
A small minority of pupils are not as engaged in their learning as they should be, and their low-level disruption limits their progress and... that of other pupils. Although the overall quality of teaching is beginning to improve because of leaders' actions, this is relatively recent and has not had the necessary impact on pupils' progress. Those pupils who are disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not make the progress other pupils do who have similar starting points.
Over time, the attendance of pupils has not improved. A significant number of pupils are missing school regularly. In addition, too many pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, are not punctual to school or lessons.
Governors do not have a full understanding of the impact of the additional funding the school receives for disadvantaged pupils. The school has the following strengths The actions leaders are now taking are beginning to have a positive impact on the areas where improvements are necessary, for example in pupils' behaviour. More recently, trust leaders have identified weaknesses in leadership, and have acted effectively to strengthen leadership at all levels.
The recently appointed principal has acted swiftly to introduce several new structures and systems to support more rapid school improvement.
