Some pupils at this school do not feel safe. Some pupils are being bullied. They say adults are not good at preventing bullying from happening. Some pupils told us they have been subject to racial abuse from other pupils. Too many pupils are disrupting learning for themselves and others because of their poor behaviour. Pupils’ behaviour often gets worse very quickly. Adults sometimes struggle to manage escalating poor behaviour without physically restraining pupils. Some staff say they lack confidence when dealing with the behaviour of pupils they are not familiar with. Where curriculums are well planned and delivered, pupils are more interested in their learning and pay attention to what is being taught. Pupils’ rates of attendance are generally low. School leaders have introduced strategies to try to encourage pupils to attend more often. These strategies have not been successful in substantially improving rates of attendance. Some pupils have struggled to return to school following the pandemic. Some parents are not happy with the care and education their child receives.
