Pupils value their education and the opportunities to socialise and make new friends. Teachers expect them to work hard, and pupils describe most teachers as kind and helpful. Teachers in the sixth form give students extra tuition if they fall behind or miss school owing to illness. Pupils are positive about the changes and routines that new leaders introduced. These have improved pupils’ behaviour and attitudes. Inspectors saw calm, friendly and sensible behaviours throughout the day. Pupils are clear that staff do not tolerate bullying. When staff witness or hear about poor behaviour, they take swift action. Staff keep pupils safe. Pupils know that if they have any problems, they can approach their mentors, support staff or counsellors for help. Staff teach pupils how to consider and deal with contemporary challenges. For example, through tutor time, assemblies and formal lessons, staff lead sessions on relationships. This content is delivered in an age-appropriate manner. Topics include how to form healthy relationships. Pupils are also taught to understand the nature of abusive relationships. These sessions also help pupils to understand the dangers of sending inappropriate images. Pupils learn about other important issues, such as consent. Older pupils were involved in creating some of the resources used. This makes them easily relatable to the school’s younger pupils.
