What This School Does Well
The school has created a welcoming, respectful community where students feel safe and valued. The new headteacher has made strong improvements in both teaching and behaviour, and disadvantaged students receive good support that helps them progress well in English and maths. Teachers know their students well and create a happy learning environment where young people want to do well.

- School is a caring, happy community where students are respectful and proud

Areas for Improvement
- Too much inconsistent teaching - tasks not matched well enough to different student abilities

- Sixth form has too much variability between subjects and too many students struggling at AS-level

- Inconsistent quality of marking across the school
Extracurricular Activities
Reading groups at lunchtime, after school and breakfast club, Year 7 catch-up premium support, engineering course at Ealing Hammersmith and West London College
