Pupils at Burrowmoor School are not receiving a quality of education that prepares them well for the next stage of their learning. The current curriculum is not ensuring that pupils have the appropriate skills and knowledge for their age. Pupils’ attitude to learning and their behaviour are often not positive. This is because leaders’ expectations are too low. This includes those of the most vulnerable pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Bullying and name-calling are too common. Although staff usually deal with such matters, these are continuing. Pupils do not always feel safe. Concerns raised by pupils are not followed up sufficiently well. Most pupils enjoy their learning, but this is regularly interrupted by incidents of poor behaviour. The significant minority of pupils who disrupt learning defy requests and instructions. Consequences for poor behaviour are not consistently managed or followed through. Pupils like the clubs that are on offer, such as those for football and rugby. Pupils are excited about opportunities to have wider experiences, such as their trip to a zoo. Some older pupils take on extra responsibilities, including joining the school council and supporting younger pupils at lunchtimes.
