School Description

Most pupils enjoy attending this school. They trust the adults in school to look after them and to keep them safe. Pupils said that they particularly enjoy spending time with the school’s therapy dog, especially at the start of the school day. The new leadership team are ambitious for all pupils to succeed. Staff and governors share leaders’ high expectations. However, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should in some subjects. Pupils told inspectors that behaviour in school has improved. Pupils are confident that when bullying occurs, it is sorted out by leaders. However, some pupils’ behaviour can often be boisterous, particularly when pupils are moving around the school site. This causes other pupils to feel anxious. Some staff do not manage pupils’ behaviour effectively outside of the classroom. Pupils told inspectors that they enjoy taking part in sporting events and developing their skills in art and design. Pupils are proud of the work that they do to support local charities through fund raising events. The new outdoor curriculum is beginning to help pupils to build their confidence and teamwork during the increasing range of opportunities now provided. However, some pupils struggle to use their new skills in different situations.
