While most pupils enjoy school, weaknesses in the quality of education limit many pupils’ progress through the curriculum. Some pupils struggle to access the curriculum because it is not well matched to their needs. For others, expectations are too low, and many pupils do not achieve as highly as they should. Too many pupils regularly miss school, and the school does not take effective action to help these pupils attend school as often as they should. Pupils’ behaviour in lessons and social times is generally calm, and they form positive relationships with their peers. They are polite and show respect for each other. Pupils appreciate the strong relationships they build with the adults in school. They feel well cared for and know they have someone to talk to if they are worried. Many pupils enjoy opportunities to take part in enrichment activities, such as sports, which help to build their confidence. Safeguarding is not effective. Some pupils are at risk of not being properly protected. This is because the school has not made sure that staff follow government guidance on dealing with harmful sexual behaviour between pupils and providing timely support.
