Pupils, including students in the sixth form, behave well here. Leaders set high expectations for pupil behaviour. Pupils build strong, positive, professional relationships with staff at the school. Staff encourage pupils to try their best and develop habits that will help them to be successful. Parents and carers said that communication is a strength of the school. Leaders have high ambitions for what pupils can achieve. When pupils join the school, teachers are quick to assess what pupils have learned previously. The school offers a range of core subject courses that all pupils study as well as vocational subjects to suit pupils’ talents and interests. Careers education in the school is a strength. Staff work with pupils to explore a range of different career options linked to the qualifications pupils are completing. Pupils receive regular one-to-one careers advice and guidance to help them select their next step in education, employment or training. This includes the option to complete further qualifications in the school’s sixth-form provision. Pupils receive weekly lessons in personal, social and health education (PSHE). However, the curriculum for PSHE does not take pupils prior knowledge sufficiently into account. Leaders have not ensured that all pupils receive age-appropriate statutory relationships and sex education.
