Quality of Education

The Quality of Education is Good, students work hard to achieve high levels of success. This is reflected in our consistently strong outcomes at Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 which was reflected in 2022 results at A Level we were in the top 10% schools nationally and above average at Key Stage 4 for student progress.

The Ofsted inspection team acknowledged that over the past two years since the appointment of the new Principal, leaders have put in place an ambitious, well-organised curriculum. All students, including those in the Sixth Form, have plenty of opportunities to study a wide range of subjects. Leaders have taken steps to enable more students to study the subjects within the English Baccalaureate (EBacc). Teachers know their subjects and how to teach them well, including the accurate use of technical vocabulary in each subject. All students, including those in the Sixth Form, use these words fluently. Teachers provide students opportunities to review what they have been taught and this helps students remember the knowledge in the long term.

Teachers teach students the importance of reading and encourage students to read widely and often and students enjoy reading. Leaders have improved the way staff support students who find reading hard and have fallen behind. These students improve their reading and catch up. Leaders quickly identify the needs of students with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). Leaders provide precise guidance for teachers to help these students learn effectively. Teachers give students with SEND the support they need to overcome the challenges they face and learn the curriculum well.
