Leaders have not ensured that the arrangements to safeguard pupils are effective. Sometimes, when pupils are at risk of harm, the right actions to keep them safe are not taken by staff. Despite these shortcomings, pupils say that they feel safe. The quality of education that pupils receive is not good enough. In reading, leaders have mapped out the knowledge and skills that they want pupils to know and remember. In other subjects, curriculum plans are in the early stages. This means that pupils are not learning as well as they should in these subjects. Pupils behave well. One pupil commented, ‘I can get on with my work because pupils are quiet when they need to be’. Pupils are polite, well mannered and articulate. They show kindness and respect to each other. Bullying rarely happens. When it does, adults sort it out swiftly. Pupils, parents and carers confirm this. The school’s Christian ethos underpins all aspects of school life. Pupils willingly take on leadership roles in school, such as school council and worship leaders. They know that they must be trustworthy and responsible to hold these posts. This motivates them to do well. Pupils have many opportunities to attend residential visits, visit museums, take part in performances and attend sporting activities. Pupils in year 6 spoke with enthusiasm about their upcoming visit to Marrick Priory. These opportunities enhance pupils’ learning and broaden their horizons.
