Pupils say that school often feels ‘chaotic’. Leaders have not managed to recruit and keep enough staff. Pupils have to take it in turns to stay at school because there are not enough staff to teach and supervise them. On occasion, the school has had to close completely. Pupils do not always get work to complete when they are sent home. Many struggle to learn without adult support. Too often, learning is disrupted by poor behaviour. Some pupils refuse to carry out instructions. Some go missing from lessons. Leaders and staff do not ensure that pupils are well supervised when they are at school. Too many pupils are absent from school too often. Pupils say that staff do not always resolve incidents of bullying. They are not all confident that staff will take their concerns seriously. Some pupils use derogatory language towards others. When staff hear this, they usually reprimand pupils. There are few opportunities for pupils to develop their interests and talents, or to contribute to their communities. Pupils do not have a secure understanding of fundamental British values.
