What the school inspection says

Date of report
2012
Verdict *
Outstanding
“The proportion of students making and exceeding national rates of progress, across all years, particularly in English and mathematics, is high. As a result, attainment by the end of Year 11 and in the sixth form is equally high … Much of the teaching is outstanding and never less than consistently good in most subjects ... Students’ attitudes to learning and academy life are exemplary. Their pride in the academy is shown by their outstanding manners and attendance.”
