Pupils experience a personalised curriculum which meets their needs. Many arrive at the school with low aspirations about the future. Pupils grow in confidence because of leaders’ ambitious expectations combined with the effective care that staff provide. Pupils get good support for their mental and physical health. Relationships between pupils and teachers in lessons are trusting and respectful. Pupils are taught about how to keep themselves safe, including online. They also learn about how to form and maintain positive relationships. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Teachers’ skilful approaches quickly remedy any problems, including when bullying occurs. Leaders’ strategies for behaviour management are carefully thought through. Pupils clearly understand the well-established routines. Pupils benefit from a range of enrichment activities which help to stretch and nurture their interests. For example, pupils can go swimming, learn boxing or study dance. They also have opportunities to learn about first aid or to join local groups such as Scouts or the Combined Cadet Force. Leaders make sure that their ambitions for pupils translate into practice. This is true for pupils’ education, behaviour and wider development. However, some important aspects of governance and the leadership of safeguarding are not strong enough.
