A significant number of pupils feel uncomfortable or unsafe in school and report being the subject of insulting and damaging comments regarding their gender, appearance, race or sexual orientation. Pupils are too often reluctant to pass their concerns on to staff. Systems for dealing with safeguarding matters do not work properly. Consequently, leaders are largely unaware of the difficulties some pupils face. Leaders provide a wide range of clubs and activities for pupils. Some pupil-led societies actively promote a culture of mutual respect and understanding. However, leaders do not do enough to support these activities by ensuring that pupils are taught how to respect and interact appropriately with people who are different to them. Leaders want and expect pupils to achieve academic success. Teachers inspire pupils’ interest in the academic subjects they teach. Pupils excel and many go on to study at a very high level after leaving the sixth form.
