The last few years have been a difficult period for the school. Several changes in leadership and teaching staff have resulted in a period of instability. The quality of education declined. Now, leaders want pupils to achieve well. Teachers’ expectations of what pupils should and can do are rising. Pupils are now reaching higher standards in some of their learning. However, this is not the case across all subjects or for all pupils. Pupils told us that they enjoy coming to school. They said that teachers make them feel welcome. Pupils like the many activities that make school exciting, including trips, clubs and sports days. Behaviour at lunchtimes is not as good as it could be. This is because supervision at these times is not effective in managing behaviour. There is some reported bullying. Most pupils agreed that adults were good at sorting it out. Some parents, carers and pupils disagree. Pupils quickly learn to appreciate others by showing respect and kindness. Around school, pupils mostly behave well. Pupils and most parents acknowledge the improvements since the new headteacher started in September 2019. The environment is calmer and more orderly. There is a clear vision and the school values are at the heart of the improvements. However, it is early days and many of the changes are only just being rolled out. It is too early to see the impact.
