The pupils that we spoke with said that they enjoy school. Older pupils told us that the school is much better than it was at the last inspection. Pupils particularly appreciate the range of extra-curricular activities on offer. Pupils behave much better than they did in the past. Exclusions have reduced and behaviour in lessons has improved. Incidents of bullying are rare. Pupils feel confident that staff deal with any incidents that do occur. Pupils know who they can talk to about any worries they may have. Pupils benefit from regular encouragement and rewards. Pupils are tolerant of one another’s views. There is an extensive and well-planned programme of personal development that pupils receive. We saw pupils and staff working and talking together with a positive, respectful manner. Pupils’ achievement is not good enough. Pupils’ progress at the end of Year 11 declined in 2019. Some teachers do not have high enough expectations and the curriculum lacks depth and breadth. The people who are responsible for this school have not ensured that it is as safe a place as possible for all pupils. Risks to pupils are not reduced as far as possible because some safeguarding systems and procedures lack rigour.
