3: raise standards, including achievement, in the sixth form
Standards of achievement in the sixth form have been evaluated above. The pupils
made appropriate progress in almost all post-16 lessons.
Progress on this area for improvement is reasonable.
4: improve attitudes and behaviour
As outlined above, the attitudes and behaviour of the pupils have improved.
However, inconsistencies remain where standard procedures are not applied
rigorously and many pupils continue stubbornly to flaunt the code of conduct.
Progress on this area for improvement is reasonable.
5: improve leadership and management
The leadership and management of the school are satisfactory; however, further
work is required to ensure that aspects of the school’s provision continue to
improve. A permanent headteacher has been appointed from September 2005.
Progress on this area for improvement is good.
6: address the statutory and governing body issues
The religious education course in Key Stage 4 does not meet the requirements of
the locally agreed syllabus. The post 16 provision for religious education does not
meet statutory requirements. Special educational needs provision is satisfactory.
There are no outstanding health and safety issues.
Progress on this area for improvement is reasonable.
