Pupils at Argyll House School have had poor prior experiences of education and continue to do so. They demonstrate challenging behaviour which staff struggle to manage. Pupils have little confidence in the adults to keep them safe. Learning is regularly disrupted by poor behaviour. Some pupils do not feel safe in school because of other pupils’ behaviour. They feel at risk of being bullied by others. They do not feel that staff deal with this well. Adults have low expectations of pupils. Pupils have only completed a small amount of work since being at the school. The work produced reflects the low expectations held by staff. Some pupils hardly ever attend the school so receive little education. Pupils enjoy some activities in school, such as cooking and going to the beach. When engaged, pupils follow instructions, remember what they have learned and show pride in what they achieve. This is not the case for most learning activities. The curriculum does not meet pupils’ individual needs so pupils do not want to participate.
