Pupils do not get the education they deserve. They do not learn enough in many subjects. Pupils have significant gaps in their learning. Leaders’ expectations of what pupils can achieve have been far too low. Consequently, pupils do not have a good grounding for the next stages of their education. Despite these shortcomings, pupils enjoy coming to school and feel safe. They are welcoming and friendly. Older pupils are proud to take on roles of responsibility, such as being chaplaincy leaders. Pupils like the rewards they receive in the weekly assembly for demonstrating the school’s values. This is beginning to develop a sense of community and pride. Pupils say that behaviour is getting better. Pupils’ conduct in the classrooms and the corridor is mostly calm and orderly. Still, when work is not engaging, a minority of pupils lose focus and become distracted. This limits their learning. When bullying happens, pupils say that adults sort it out. Leaders celebrate the diversity of the community. Through books, visits and fundraising activities, pupils learn the importance of respecting different faiths and cultures.
