Pupils feel safe and secure at Cubert School. This is because staff look after them well. Leaders promote a highly inclusive ethos. They place an emphasis on pupils’ mental health. This includes for those pupils who attend ‘the nest’. The guidance they receive there helps them to overcome their anxieties or worries. Pupils behave well. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning. For example, they cooperate with each other respectfully in group activities. At social times older pupils enjoy playing with their younger peers. Pupils say that bullying does not happen. They say that adults would resolve it if it did. Nevertheless, the quality of education is not good. Leaders have made recent changes to the curriculum to make it more ambitious. However, this work is at an early stage. As a result, in some subjects, leaders have not identified the knowledge pupils need to learn precisely and in a coherent order. Pupils do not learn as well as they should. Pupils consider others. For example, they decided to raise money for victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Pupils enjoy a range of clubs to pursue their talents and interests, such as hockey, coding and choir. They develop performance skills through productions, such as ‘Peter Pan’.
