The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You, senior leaders and governors have a common and accurate view of the school’s strengths and weaknesses. The school development plan is sharply focused to address the identified priorities and work is under way on most of these. There have been a large number of changes since the last inspection, not least that the number of senior and middle leaders has reduced. The governing body has been reconstituted to better match the needs of the school with the professional skills and expertise of governors. You have restructured the curriculum to give pupils more choice and ensure that they have the same opportunities as other pupils nationally. You have addressed all the areas for improvement identified at the previous inspection. You have arranged a wide range of training for staff which is having a very positive impact, such as in better questioning of pupils to improve their understanding. Improvements in the quality of teaching in the sixth form have brought about better outcomes for students in most subjects. You are very aware of the small number of subjects where there has not been the same level of improvement. Your senior leaders are focusing their efforts to support middle leaders in these subjects to raise standards. Students currently in the sixth form are making better progress than previous cohorts.
