Leaders, including those responsible for governance, are not fulfilling their statutory responsibilities in relation to safeguarding pupils. Pupils are not kept safe. The curriculum in most subjects is poorly designed and lacks ambition. Leaders have not given sufficient thought to the key concepts that pupils need to learn and remember. As a result, pupils are not well prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training. Most pupils enjoy their time here. Pupils’ behaviour is typically good and learning in class is not interrupted. Should any disruptive behaviour or bullying occur, teachers deal with these effectively. Pupils are confident to share any concerns they may have with staff because they know they will be resolved swiftly. Pupils have opportunities to develop leadership skills. For example, pupils help to choose the educational visits that leaders organise to extend their learning. Pupils take part in a range of activities, including choir, football and basketball. Leaders have designed the curriculum to help pupils to understand important issues about faith, culture and heritage. For example, all members of the school’s community performed in the school’s annual theatre production of ‘Motherland’, a celebration of African heritage.
