Pupils, parents and staff all describe the significant improvements that have taken place at the school since the arrival of the new headteacher. There is now a clear and ambitious vision evident from all leaders to improve the quality of education for all pupils. The school is welcoming to all pupils and is frequently described as caring and compassionate. Pupils describe how they feel fully included in the life of the school. Their concerns are taken seriously, and they are protected from discrimination. The school has robust systems in place to deal with all forms of bullying. Pupils agree that bullying is dealt with effectively. Pupils say that teaching is improving but they do not always remember the important information in their learning. Some pupils need more help to improve their reading. Pupils also need more help to understand what they need to do to improve their work. Although most pupils behave well in lessons and around school, a small number of pupils need repeated reminders to settle to their work and to complete tasks set. Pupils have the opportunity to take responsibility and support others, such as by being prefects and anti-bullying ambassadors. Pupils were particularly positive about the support they receive to support their mental health.
