School Description

Pupils are happy at The Old School House. They learn to improve and take responsibility for their behaviour. Pupils develop positive relationships with staff and each other. Pupils feel safe. They say that they have someone to go to if they have a problem. Bullying is rare. On the few occasions it happens, staff deal with it quickly and effectively. Pupils enjoy school. They rarely miss a day. Pupils re-engage with learning after not doing well in previous schools or after long periods out of education. They work towards achieving meaningful qualifications. Pupils like using what they have learned in practical projects such as developing the school allotment. However, pupils do not do as well as they should across the subjects that they learn. Teachers do not always build on what pupils already know to help them learn new things. Pupils have misconceptions and misunderstandings that teachers do not spot or anticipate. The school is a caring and nurturing environment. Staff understand pupils’ social and emotional needs well. Pupils learn about what is right and wrong. They learn about careers but do not receive high-quality guidance to help them make informed choices about future work or study.
