Personal development and wellbeing - Expected standard. "Leaders have designed an effective personal development offer that makes a positive difference to pupils and prepares them well for life in modern Britain."

Achievement - Needs attention. "Pupils do not achieve as well as they should and are not as well prepared as they could be for the next stages of their learning."

Curriculum and teaching - Needs attention. "The curriculum is broad and ambitious and meets the requirements expected nationally."

Leadership and governance - Needs attention. "Governors understand their statutory duties and are providing appropriate support and challenge to leaders in school."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders and those responsible for governance should strengthen their oversight, especially of the consistent implementation of the curriculum and pupils' achievement. They should ensure that the information they collect is used strategically and systematically to drive rapid improvement where needed"; "Leaders should provide staff with the necessary professional learning to ensure that they have the skills and subject knowledge required to implement the full curriculum consistently and effectively"; "Leaders should ensure that assessment is used effectively to identify and address gaps and misconceptions in pupils' learning. This will better support pupils to progress through the curriculum and achieve well"; "Leaders and those responsible for governance should maintain and build upon the school's work to promote high rates of attendance, including intervening swiftly to support and challenge parents and carers with children whose attendance needs to improve".
