Strengths:

• Pupils are happy and enjoy their time at school.
• Staff provide high levels of support and care for their pupils.
• The school has created a real sense of community.
• Pupils are polite and respectful.
• Pupils are motivated to work hard and behave well.
• The school's careers programme is well thought out and provides pupils with insight into a wide range of future jobs and post-16 options.

Areas to improve:

• In a few subjects, the subject content is limited and lacks depth, resulting in pupils not gaining a deep and broad body of knowledge.
• There is variability in how well staff use identified strategies to support the learning of pupils with SEND, reducing the learning of pupils with SEND.
• The school does not cover the required content for relationships education as set out in statutory guidance, and does not pay due regard to the full range of protected characteristics.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
