Thanks for all the effort so far. The page is correctly assessed as a start. There are two obvious faults- the lead (lede)- should be a synopsis of the article and no new material should be added there. What you have is a description. Cure : introduce ===Description== after the first paragraph- then repeat the paragraph in you new section and copy edit it so it makes sense again. Read WP:SCH/AG. You will now want to split out some other text into new sections.

The second fault is that the body of the text is about sports facilities- and sports. This is common on US written pages but is WP:UNDUE and unhelpful, for example for a reader from Asia who would like to know what the school teaches. What are the academic programmes where is the section ===Academics=== ? What is the governance? What is the racial mix of the school, how many of the kids are deprived, or non-native English speakers?

Do have a look at other articles- I specialise in destubbing articles, I haven't the patience to aim above a C. Harris Academy St John's Wood is a borderline C- and maybe I was too generous! So to sum up, get the structure right- think as a foreigner and add sections found in WP:SCH/AG. Cast your vote, and then come over and share a coffee.
