This school does not have high expectations of what pupils can and should achieve. Pupils have significant gaps in their knowledge, which means they are not ready for the next stage of their education. Pupils are safe. They said that if they have any worries, there is always an adult who will support them. However, some pupils regularly experience disruption to their learning. This is because staff do not deal with the low-level disruption in lessons caused by some pupils. Older pupils are proud of the leadership roles that they hold. Eco-leaders learn about sustainability and the environment with a visit to Plymouth waste facility. Play leaders enjoy supporting younger pupils in the playground. Pupils appreciate attending afterschool clubs like singing and craft club. These opportunities help to develop pupils’ interests and talents. Visits to the local church to celebrate the harvest festival, along with participation in the village annual festival, help pupils to build links with their local community. Pupils learn to be respectful of other people. However, they do not have a well-developed understanding of the diverse people and communities of modern Britain. This affects their readiness for their future lives.
