Leaders have not ensured effective safeguarding arrangements. This puts pupils at risk. Many of the school’s risk assessments are poor. They do not include the risks that pupils may encounter or the actions that staff should take to reduce these risks. Safer recruitment procedures are not robust enough. Leaders do not ensure that the school’s own safeguarding policies and procedures are followed consistently. Concerns about pupils are not always referred to the local authority, when appropriate, or recorded consistently. Teachers do not check effectively that pupils have understood important knowledge before moving on to new content. Leaders do not have systems in place to check if pupils have any difficulties with reading. Pupils are exceptionally well behaved. Staff have very high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. There is a strong culture of mutual respect between staff and pupils. Pupils are eager to learn. They have very positive attitudes towards their learning across the curriculum. The school is exceptionally calm and purposeful. Pupils show respectful and tolerant views. They have a good understanding of different faiths and cultures. Bullying is extremely rare. If it does happen, pupils are confident that staff will deal with any issues swiftly.
