Pupils enjoy attending this school. They feel safe. They have good relationships with teachers and trust them to help them. Pupils told inspectors that they are confident that teachers will deal with any problems that arise. For most pupils, bullying is not an issue. Where it is does happen, adults deal with it quickly. The school is calm and purposeful. Pupils enjoy positive and respectful relationships with their teachers. Opportunities for pupils to develop their independence are limited. There is no clear plan to help pupils take on more responsibility as they move through the school and become older. All pupils can engage in extra-curricular activities. However, some pupils do not take up these opportunities. The taught curriculum does not ensure that pupils’ knowledge of life in modern Britain improves well enough. The curriculum that pupils study is still in development. Pupils’ experiences in lessons vary as a result. Leaders are in the process of enacting ambitious plans to ensure that all pupils study lessons which help them to prepare for life after they leave Heritage Park School. They are designed to take account of pupils’ special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have a methodical approach to ensure that older pupils study qualifications appropriate to their needs, abilities and future plans.
