“Leaders have a precise view of the school’s performance. The quality of teaching, learning and assessment has improved since the last inspection, particularly in challenging the most able pupils to do better.”
“Teachers now routinely plan activities that meet pupils’ needs and provide helpful feedback that moves their learning on apace...Pupils’ behaviour overall is strong, with few incidents requiring significant follow-up. There is an improving trend in the reduction of the number of fixed-term exclusions. Attendance is rising to above the national average for secondary schools.”
