Ofsted report
“This is a good academy. Giving every student the chance to succeed is at the very heart of its work and, consequently, they are included particularly well in all school activities. The academy’s good quality of care, guidance and support contributes well to students’ good personal development. Students are punctual, behave well, are keen to contribute to their own and the wider community, and have a well-developed understanding of the world of work. Attainment is rising and progress, particularly in English and mathematics, is accelerating. The governing body, leaders and managers know their academy well, self-evaluation is accurate and appropriate priorities for further development have been identified clearly. Consequently, the academy has a good capacity to sustain improvement.”
