Staff foster positive relationships with their pupils. Most pupils are happy at the school. Pupils told inspectors that they feel safe. Staff know their pupils well and promote positive attitudes to learning. Pupils know whom they can talk to with any worries they may have. The school is ambitious for pupils to succeed. Pupils are increasingly benefiting from the improvements that the school has made to the quality of education that it provides. However, pupils learn better in some subjects than in others. This is because the curriculum is not delivered consistently well. The school has raised its expectations of how pupils behave in school. Pupils’ behaviour during breaktimes and when moving between lessons is generally calm. However, there remain a small minority of pupils who misbehave in lessons and do not follow the school’s behaviour policy. Pupils told inspectors that their learning is disrupted in some of their lessons. An increasing number of pupils benefit from a variety of extra-curricular activities. The school has recently improved the range of activities that pupils can attend after school. Pupils spoke enthusiastically about visits to the theatre, opportunities to participate in music and sports competitions and a variety of after-school clubs.
