Areas for Improvement
- Teaching quality remains inconsistent, particularly in English and technology
- Teachers do not always match work to students' different ability levels - sometimes too hard or too easy
- Some teachers talk for too long, causing students to lose interest and attention
- Permanent exclusion rates for serious behaviour incidents are above average
- Sixth form retention rates need improvement with some students not completing their courses
