We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school with a rich and nurturing culture. We celebrate diversity and individuality while standing together as a united learning community, underpinned by shared values and high expectations.
The academy recently received a remarkably strong Ofsted report. Inspectors awarded the school with the “exceptional” grade across five categories and the “strong standard” across the remaining two categories. This formidable outcome is testament to the excellent learning culture that staff and students have built, and confirms that the academy exceeds the standards expected of it, by some measure.
The report found that students “quite simply ‘love learning’ and are determined to do their very best” and that they “have a mature approach to their studies”. Highlighting the school’s positive and nurturing culture, the inspectors noted that students “thrive in this inclusive atmosphere” whilst “the consistent belief in all pupils, from staff at all levels, transforms their self-belief” with pupils demonstrating “quiet confidence which prepares them exceptionally well for wider life”.
Academic outcomes at TTA place the school in the top 0.5% in the country. GCSE results have risen year on year since 2016, with the latest Progress 8 score of +1.32. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds make almost a grade more progress than non-disadvantaged students nationally.
