Ofsted
“The Principal and the senior leadership team have established a clear and accurate understanding of the academy’s strengths and weaknesses. Significant strength is emerging in middle leadership, particularly in English, history and the arts, where achievement is now good. The sixth form is good. Students make good progress overall and are well supported in their studies. The academy’s work to support weaker readers and disadvantaged students is sharply focused and effective.”
