This has resulted in students’ achievement, the quality of teaching and their behaviour and safety all moving from satisfactory to good.

Students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is promoted well.

The academy has developed a positive climate for learning with good relationships between staff and students and among different groups of students.

Key areas for improvement highlighted at the previous inspection have been well-tackled. For example, there has been a huge improvement in students’ attendance.

The latest academic tracking data indicate that the rising trend in students’ attainments and achievements apparent over the past three years is set to continue.

The academy has developed a number of highly effective partnerships which are supporting its improvement.
