Leaders have failed to create an effective culture of safeguarding. As a result, some pupils do not disclose serious concerns about their safety to staff. The school site is unsafe. The quality of education is poor. The curriculum is not designed to meet the needs of all pupils. Some pupils are not supported effectively to learn to read. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, including those with education, health and care (EHC) plans, do not learn well. Many cannot access the curriculum successfully. Some parents have a positive view of the school. However, there are serious systemic weaknesses. Leaders have failed to meet the basic requirements set out in the independent school standards. Leaders do not provide staff with the training they need to meet the social, emotional and academic needs of the pupils attending. The curriculum does not support pupils’ personal development well enough. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful. Pupils are usually well mannered. However, sometimes pupils call out and interrupt in lessons or lose concentration. There are limited things for pupils to do at social times. Pupils told inspectors that bullying does not happen.
