School Description

Most pupils enjoy coming to school. Leaders know their pupils well and tailor pastoral care to the needs of individuals. This helps with pupil attendance and forms trusting relationships between pupils and adults in school. Leaders support pupils who find it hard to engage in learning or interact in positive ways. They know when to step in and provide support if they sense that a pupil is becoming anxious or frustrated. Most pupils behave well and display positive attitudes towards their learning. At lunch and breaktimes, most pupils get on well together or enjoy relaxing in their own company. There are a small number of pupils who struggle to adhere to the school’s boundaries and routines. Staff are working to try to support these pupils more effectively. Bullying rarely happens. Pupils are confident that staff will act quickly should there be any concerns. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils and are working with staff to ensure that these high expectations are realised. Most parents and carers are positive about the school. In particular, they value events, such as the recent fashion show, which was described as ‘out of this world’. Some parents have concerns about the behaviour of a small number of pupils in school and the impact this behaviour has on other pupils’ experiences in school. Leaders have introduced positive changes across the school to improve the quality of education. However, more work is required to support staff so that the curriculum is delivered to a consistently high standard. Leaders also need to improve the teaching of reading. This will help pupils to be more successful across the curriculum.
