Although leaders have effective systems to keep pupils safe, the behaviour of some pupils causes others to feel anxious and upset. This spoils their enjoyment of school and makes them feel worried. Leaders do not take swift and robust enough action to deal effectively with incidents of discriminatory behaviour including bullying. Governors’ and leaders’ expectations of pupils’ behaviour and learning are not high enough. Many pupils do not try their best or behave well. Some pupils have developed very negative attitudes towards their education. They have become apathetic learners. Some pupils also find lessons uninspiring and pointless. Pupils’ achievement is too low. Leaders expect pupils to live up to the school’s values. However, some pupils do not practise these values in their attitudes towards others. They make fun of their peers based on their appearance. Others ridicule pupils who may struggle with their learning. Governors and leaders excuse this disrespectful behaviour by attributing pupils’ poor attitudes and lack of respect to influences outside of the school and in their community. Pupils have some opportunities to make an active contribution to school life or the wider community. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Parents and carers who shared their views with inspectors feel that pupils rarely benefit from trips or visits. A significant number of parents do not have any faith in leaders’ ability to tackle issues and to deal with their concerns quickly and effectively.
