Pupils feel safe and happy at this school. They said that everyone knows each other well. Pupils are confident that they could approach any member of staff for help and support with any concerns or problems. Most pupils treat each other with courtesy and respect. Pupils are supportive of the considerable changes that leaders have made to the systems for managing behaviour. They said that staff use the behaviour system with more consistency. Teachers’ expectations of how pupils behave have risen and there is less disruption to pupils’ learning. Pupils described how leaders have tackled the use of derogatory language in school. They said that should derogatory language occur, then it is dealt with by staff. Improvements to the leadership of the school mean that pupils are starting to learn more than they have in the past. Teachers’ expectations of pupils’ achievement are increasing. More pupils are receiving a better quality of education. Nevertheless, pupils, including those pupils who are disadvantaged, do not learn and achieve equally well across all subjects. Pupils benefit from the wider opportunities on offer at the school. For example, pupils learn about issues such as age, disability and race. Pupils are appreciative of the programme of trips and activities available to them, such as drama club, sporting events or ice-skating.
