Following the school’s most recent inspection, leaders have taken decisive and effective action to improve the quality of education as well as pupils’ behaviour. Consequently, pupils are more able to manage their emotions and typically subject curriculums are sequenced and support pupils to build their knowledge. Bullying is taken very seriously by the school, governing body and trust. The school has put in place personalised and targeted mentoring for individuals who find it particularly hard to maintain and sustain relationships with their peers. As a result, incidents of bullying have decreased over time. Bullying rarely happens and if it does, staff deal with it. Pupils are provided with opportunities to experience a range of careers. For example, they learn about caring for animals such as Cookie and Rosie the school’s guinea pigs and visit a range of places of work such as hospitals and motor vehicle maintenance garages. In the sixth form, all students have the opportunity to study a vocational course from an extensive offer delivered by a local college. This supports students in the sixth form to think carefully about and plan for their future in either employment or further study. As a result, many students go on to university, internships, apprenticeships or paid employment.
