Many pupils feel unsafe in school because of the poor behaviour of others. Many pupils reported feeling uneasy around school and some say that they feel intimidated. Racist, sexist and homophobic language is commonplace. Girls report that the behaviour of boys sometimes makes them feel unsafe. Some pupils use social media inappropriately. Pupils are not confident that all staff take bullying concerns seriously. The ‘crime ambassadors’ promote anti-bullying messages and provide useful support to their peers. However, on too many occasions, pupils do not report incidents because they are not confident that staff will act. Pupils are not prepared well for life in modern Britain. They have little understanding of other faiths, religions and cultures. One pupil summed up the views of many when he said: ‘Pupils here need to know more about other cultures. They need educating. They are ignorant of the world outside of the school gates.’ Staff do not have consistently high expectations of what pupils can achieve. At times, poor behaviour hinders pupils’ learning.
