Pupils enjoy coming to school at Crosby High. They feel part of a safe and caring community. Pupils share warm relationships with staff. They know that there is always someone that can talk to if they have a worry or a concern. Pupils value the wide range of social opportunities that the school provides for them. The school is in the process of making changes to the curriculum offer for pupils. Currently, the school’s expectations for the academic achievement of some pupils is not as high as it should be. The quality of education that pupils receive is variable. Some pupils do not access a curriculum that meets their academic abilities well enough. The teaching that pupils receive in some subjects does not help them to learn as well as they should. In the main, pupils behave well. They are polite and respectful towards each other in lessons. The school atmosphere is calm and friendly. The school has improved the way that it helps pupils to manage and understand their own behaviour. For example, it provides individualised support and counselling for pupils when they struggle to access learning. There is a varied programme of activities in place for pupils to develop themselves beyond the academic curriculum. For example, pupils take part in outdoor learning, animal care and residential trips. Many pupils complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. This helps pupils to build their confidence, social skills and their understanding of the world.
