Leaders have not ensured that safeguarding is effective. Pupils are not kept safe at this school. Leaders’ expectations of pupils are far too low. The curriculum lacks ambition and is limited. It does not meet pupils’ needs. Leaders have not ensured that pupils receive high-quality opportunities to fulfil their interests and talents. They have not organised extra-curricular clubs or other wider provision for pupils. As a result, pupils are very poorly prepared for the next steps in their education. Few pupils receive a full-time education here. The majority of pupils on the school’s roll do not attend the school premises. Most are on part-time timetables or access no education at all. This means most pupils spend more time at home or in their local community during school hours than they do at school. This puts them at risk. The timetable for those who spend full days on site includes too much ‘free time’ so that valuable learning time is wasted. Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes to learning are poor. Leaders have not established a consistent approach for staff to respond to behaviour incidents. For example, staff do not consistently follow up pupils’ use of rude or abusive language. Bullying is not dealt with effectively so that it is resolved. Leaders deal with poor behaviour, including bullying, by putting pupils on part-time timetables or by providing permanent off-site tuition, for example in local libraries.
