Pupils like being at Stowupland High. They are safe here. Pupils praise how staff have helped them through difficult times. Pupils learn a well-planned curriculum. However, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not always get the support they need to learn well. Pupils in the specially resourced provision, the Mulberry Centre, receive a strong quality of education. They move onto positive destinations, such as training or college. Pupils’ behaviour is variable. Pupils experience regular disruption to their learning, depending on the subject being taught. Some pupils do not behave well, both in lessons and around the site. Many pupils do not buy into the school’s expectations enough. This is because these are not consistently applied. However, bigger incidents get resolved well. There are fewer serious incidents than there used to be. In the sixth-form, students benefit from very small classes with specialist teachers. Consequently, the sixth form is a calmer and more stimulating learning environment. There are many opportunities for personal development. Pupils enjoy a range of clubs and activities, for example house competitions. They develop their sense of responsibility through roles such as peer and reading mentors. Participation in charity work helps build pupils’ character.
