“Achievement at GCSE is improving strongly, particularly in English and Science, where teachers explain assessment tasks very clearly and all students, including disadvantaged students, make good progress in lessons. Teaching and learning are good and improving well because staff have well-planned opportunities to develop their teaching expertise and they set demanding targets for students’ achievement. The principal has ensured that new teachers and managers are held to account for students’ achievement through regular monitoring and performance review.”
