Pupils have experienced a number of previous placements prior to starting at Want2Achieve. They often arrive disillusioned about education. Most staff work hard to build strong, trusting relationships. These relationships support pupils’ social and emotional development. Pupils told inspectors that they enjoy school because teachers ‘understand them’. Staff resolve any issues if bullying occurs. Leaders set high expectations for behaviour. However, these are not applied consistently by all staff. This results in disruptive behaviour and persistent use of unacceptable language. This has a negative impact on the calm running of the school and other pupils’ learning. Leaders prioritise the teaching of English and mathematics. However, pupils’ individual needs are not considered well enough. Leaders have not thought about important content to teach and when to teach it. Therefore, pupils experience disconnected learning that does not build on what they already know. As a result, pupils do not achieve well. Broader aspects of the curriculum are not taught in sufficient depth. This means that pupils’ knowledge of a wider range of subjects is limited. The proprietors have not ensured compliance with a number of independent school standards, including those relating to fire safety.
