Academic performance and Ofsted
In 2012, 25% of all pupils attained five GCSEs at grades A* to C including English and Maths. This is a decrease of 18 percentage points since 2011. The school was subsequently put into special measures by Ofsted.[1] In 2013 this figure was at 27% and, after the school became an academy, improved to 38% in 2014 and 46% in 2015.
Ofsted visited the Academy in May 2016 and awarded the 'Good' grade with outstanding behaviour. The leadership of the Principal was described as inspirational.[2] The Academy's 2016 GCSE results showed a Progress 8 score of -0.08, which is in line with the national average. 51% of pupils earned grades A* to C in GCSE English and Maths.[3]
The Academy was rated 'Inadequate' following an inspection in March 2020. The report noted high staff turnover, "weak teaching" and a failure by "too many" teachers to effectively manage the behaviour of their pupils. Additionally, the school's provisions for safeguarding were described as "not good enough to keep pupils safe."[4]
