Teachers plan lessons which help pupils to remember important knowledge. Pupils enjoy learning at this school. Leaders have made sure the curriculum has the scope of the national curriculum. But some pupils are reluctant to talk about their learning. Their attitudes to learning are variable too. Some pupils do not produce the quality of work they are capable of. Pupils say they generally feel safe. The school has a high proportion of pupils who have additional needs and has a specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (specially resourced provision) on site. The school works hard to cater for the needs of these pupils despite significant restrictions related to the facilities available. Leaders are determined to overcome the challenges some pupils face daily and allow them full access to the curriculum. Staff have high expectations of all pupils. However, pupils do not always meet these expectations. They do not always behave well around the school. Some pupils lack respect towards each other and towards staff and visitors. The school has always offered pupils lots of opportunities for learning beyond lessons. The pandemic has limited these opportunities to a large extent. Leaders are making sure these opportunities are in place again as soon as possible. Many pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, take part in a range of clubs and activities. Leaders also make sure any support pupils need is available to them, for example mental health and wellbeing support. Leaders have recruited new pastoral staff to provide even more support for those who need it.
