Pupils experience disruptive behaviour in lessons and around the school. This means that pupils do not learn as much as they should. By the time they leave Year 11, pupils make much less progress than pupils in other schools. Teachers’ expectations of what pupils can achieve are mixed. Pupils get a much better deal in some subjects than in others. In English, art and drama pupils reach high standards because the curriculum is ambitious, and teachers are skilled. In other subjects, a weak curriculum and lots of staff changes have stopped pupils from achieving well. Current pupils have significant gaps in their knowledge. Most of the pupils that we spoke with said that they feel safe. A small number of pupils told us that leaders do not deal effectively with bullying. As a result, some pupils do not report their concerns to adults. Many pupils are not proud of their school. They have lost faith in the ability of school leaders to maintain high standards of behaviour.
