The school has been through a period of substantial turbulence in leadership and staffing since its move to the current site. As a result, the behaviour of a number of pupils is challenging. Some pupils leave their classes and wander the corridors at will. They swear at each other and at staff, block doors, shout, and kick doors and walls. Staff are working hard to resolve this situation. It is made more difficult because of a shortage of employed staff who know the pupils well. The quality of education has suffered, since the transition onto the new site, because the staff’s attention is on managing pupils’ behaviour. Just under half of the pupils on roll experience a part-time and off-site education. Leaders are using this strategy while they establish a new behaviour policy following the move into the new buildings. In some subjects, pupils have completed virtually no work this academic year. The curriculum is not ambitious enough. Important subjects which prepare pupils for adult life have been withdrawn or are not offered. In some curriculum areas, pupils produce work of a high standard with teachers who know their subjects well. Leaders and staff care deeply about the young people on roll at the school. There are some strong relationships between staff and pupils. Inspectors found no evidence that bullying is an issue in school. All of the pupils who spoke to inspectors feel safe in school.
