School Description

Most pupils we spoke to said that they felt safe in school. Many pupils feel happy and valued. The culture in the school is changing. Pupils are more tolerant of each other and of difference. Instances of reported bullying are dealt with by teachers. Pupils have seen frequent staffing changes since the school opened. Until recently, pupils had experienced little stability or high enough expectations from their teachers. This has made it harder for leaders to improve pupils’ learning as much as they have with other aspects of the school’s work. Classrooms are now calmer and more orderly. Pupils are more respectful to each other and to their teachers. Pupils’ behaviour outside of lessons is not always as positive. During their time in the school, pupils do not make enough progress. They do not achieve well by the end of Year 11. Disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make particularly poor progress. Pupils have started to benefit from a broader set of opportunities to enhance their personal development.
