Older pupils told us that the range of subjects on offer for key stage 4 study is too limited. They said that leaders insist that pupils have to do some subjects that they do not like or feel will help them in the future. We found this to be the case. Pupils behave well. They get on well together and say that they feel safe. The school is calm and orderly. Pupils move around the buildings sensibly. They are polite and friendly. In lessons, pupils get on with their work and do what teachers ask of them. Pupils say that since the new headteacher has arrived, behaviour has improved a lot. This is because teachers have higher expectations. They no longer accept bad behaviour. Pupils like the rewards that they get when they behave well. Pupils say that bullying is rare. If it does happen, they say that adults will deal with it. Adults work hard to ensure that pupils are well cared for.
