Pupils come to school happily. They have positive relationships with staff. Students in the sixth form particularly enjoy the quiet and calm environment and the help that they get from teachers to prepare them for the future. The school’s expectations of pupils are not high enough. They do not benefit from a sufficiently ambitious curriculum. While the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified and shared, these needs are not put at the heart of pupils’ provision and, as a result, pupils do not make the progress that they should. Pupils are not prepared well enough for adulthood. They do not learn how to keep safe or how to manage their behaviour and emotions well enough. Many pupils disengage from their learning and staff do not make sure that they are re-directed or re-engaged. This hampers their progress. Too many pupils are outside of classrooms, struggling to manage their feelings. This disturbs their learning and that of other pupils. Outdoor spaces are poorly designed. In social times, most pupils wander aimlessly with no activities or resources to support their social and emotional development. There are few opportunities for pupils to develop their curiosity or to follow their talents and interests.
