School Description

Pupils enjoy school and attend regularly. However, staff are not doing enough to make sure that pupils are safe. The monitoring of health and safety risks and the training of staff have been sloppy. The headteacher’s recent changes to expectations of behaviour mean that pupils’ conduct around the school is a strength. Pupils are polite to each other and to adults. Pupils say that there is very little bullying, and staff deal with it well most of the time. However, not all pupils have positive attitudes to learning. Although there is a broad curriculum, there is no logical order to the teaching of several subjects. Consequently, pupils cannot remember what they have learned over time. Teachers’ expectations of what pupils can achieve in the curriculum are too low. The breakfast club is attended well and provides a good start to the day for many pupils. There are several after-school clubs, which pupils attend. These range from sports to music and outdoor exploration. Most pupils find something of interest to do. Assemblies and personal, social, health and economic education focus on how pupils can become good citizens. However, there is a lack of teaching about cultural awareness for older pupils.
