Particular quotes from the report that we are extremely proud of include:

“The school has ensured that a well-sequenced and ambitious curriculum is in place for all subjects. It is clear what pupils will learn and when, so pupils build on what they have previously learned. The school has also ensured that the resources used to deliver the curriculum are precisely matched to the intended learning.”

“Teachers have good subject knowledge. They use assessment well to identify and address any gaps in learning.”

“Teachers ensure that pupils with SEND are well supported. They adapt their teaching and resources so that these pupils can access the curriculum. Pupils with more complex needs benefit from a bespoke curriculum.”

“Students in the sixth form have access to a range of academic and vocational courses. Teachers in the sixth form use their strong subject knowledge to deliver the curriculum well.”

“The school has high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. A clear behaviour system is in place that pupils understand.”

“Pupils understand the importance of regular attendance. The school effectively supports pupils who need help to improve their attendance. As a result, pupils attend school well.”

“Staff are proud to work at the school and feel well supported. The school provides well thought-out professional development opportunities that support staff in developing their practice.”
