School Description

Pupils’ experiences at this school are defined by which phase they are in. Some pupils get a good deal and others don’t. Primary-aged pupils are happy, settled and learning well. In this phase, teachers have high expectations and support pupils to give of their best. On the other hand, teachers’ expectations of older pupils are too low. Key stage 3 pupils told us that they want their teachers to expect more of them. Pupils are safe, and staff are caring. However, pupils say that they are not treated fairly in this school. Overall there have been some notable improvements to behaviour. Sixth formers told us this is because their teachers are stricter. However, there is still much more to do. Older pupils are concerned about regular disruption to their learning. They also say that bullying occurs sometimes.
