Christ Church, Church of England Secondary Academy is currently rated as requiring improvement overall. The school, which recently underwent its first inspection since opening, has shown remarkable progress under new leadership, creating a supportive environment that both pupils and staff appreciate. Despite the improvements, the implementation of high expectations and a consistent curriculum across all subjects is still a work in progress, affecting the overall quality of education delivered. Behaviour is generally positive, yet inconsistent application of policies leaves some pupils confused about expectations.
