School Description

Pupils are not kept safe. Registration processes are not followed closely enough. Therefore, at times adults do not know if pupils have arrived at school or whether they are absent. This is a significant safeguarding risk. Pupils forge positive friendships during their time here. They particularly enjoy playing football together during social times. Pupils are not unduly concerned by bullying. Pupils readily identify many aspects of schooling that they enjoy. At the top of pupils’ lists of positives is the way that staff make their education an enjoyable experience. Staff know their pupils well and have high expectations of what pupils are capable of. In return, pupils try their best and are determined to succeed. They respond well to the ready encouragement that is on hand. Pupils say that they like learning in this school, including in mathematics, science and cookery. However, the learning in some subjects is not well planned to promote secure learning. Nevertheless, most pupils feel that learning is fun. They say that sometimes they are distracted by others’ behaviour. However, pupils are confident that staff manage such situations effectively.
