Leaders have developed a curriculum with a broad range of subjects to interest and appeal to pupils. There is a strong focus on making sure that pupils gain as many qualifications as possible. Leaders are ambitious for pupils’ academic achievement. However, pupils do not routinely achieve highly because there are some weaknesses in the way that the curriculum is delivered. Pupils usually behave in a sensible manner around the school and in most interactions with others. They respond to adults’ instructions and are polite. However, sometimes, pupils struggle to concentrate and lack motivation to learn in lessons. Adults sort out any incidents of bullying that may occur. Safeguarding is ineffective because of leaders’ poor staff recruitment practice. Adults take the time to get to know their pupils and to understand them as individuals. They provide opportunities that foster pupils’ personal qualities and encourage them to be reflective and empathise with others. Pupils discuss, and are helped to understand, the importance of respect and kindness.
