The inspectors examined the result of 2016 Year 11s and said that the most able pupils in Year 11 had made progress that was broadly in line with the national average. Most notably, their achievement in the non-core subjects was significantly higher than pupils nationally. While the small number of most-able disadvantaged pupils made progress broadly in line with the national average in 2016, they did not attain as highly as their peers nationally. School information and inspection evidence indicates that current most-able pupils are making stronger progress, than their less able peers.
