Too many pupils feel unsafe at this school. Some pupils told us that they ‘have had enough’ of being jostled and hurt in corridors or verbally abused. Leaders and staff do too little to challenge the foul, homophobic, racist and sexist language which is commonplace across both sites. Pupils have little confidence in leaders’ ability to deal with any concerns about bullying or discrimination. Pupils do not feel that they have a voice in this school. Their concerns are not listened to. Leaders’ expectations are too low. More than half of pupils choose not to attend school regularly. Too many who do attend school more regularly, are then persistently absent from lessons. Those who do attend lessons frequently have their learning disturbed by unruly behaviour. The combination of the pandemic, changes in leadership and high levels of staff absence mean that leaders lack a firm grasp on maintaining positive behaviour across the school. Many lessons are taught by supply teachers because leaders have been unable to recruit the permanent staff that pupils deserve. As a result, pupils make poor progress through the curriculum. Opportunities for enrichment are rare. Clubs and activities have not restarted since the pandemic. School trips are limited. However, a few pupils who battle through school life doing the right thing, are pleased to be rewarded in a number of ways, including a trip to a theme park.
