The school is a much smaller that average-sized secondary school. Almost all students are from White British backgrounds. Nearly a quarter of students are supported by the pupil premium. The pupil premium is additional funding provided by the government to support students known to be eligible for free school meals and looked after children. Less than a tenth of students is supported through school action; this is below average. Less than a tenth of students is supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs, which is just above average. The school is a member of the Peak 11 Learning Federation, which is a partnership of 11 Derbyshire secondary schools which work collaboratively to share good practice. The school does not have any arrangements for alternative provision. Since the previous section 5 inspection there have been significant changes in the senior leadership and the governing body. For the last academic year an executive headteacher was in post temporarily. The local authority and the diocese commissioned a NLE to work with school leaders for a day a week, during the current academic year. The school meets current government floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for students’ achievement.
