School Description

Pupils have experienced a lot of changes in staffing since the last inspection. This has had a detrimental effect on their quality of education. Leaders’ expectations of pupils’ achievement are too low. Pupils have not achieved well over time. This is especially true for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This situation is no better for those pupils currently attending the school. Leaders, together with staff, have raised their expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils reported that behaviour is improving. Most pupils behave well in lessons and during breaktimes. However, some pupils continue to demonstrate occasional boisterous behaviour in corridors. In addition, some pupils do not behave well in lessons. This makes it difficult for other pupils to learn. Pupils feel safe. They know that they can speak to adults if they have any concerns. Pupils reported that staff would deal with bullying quickly if it did happen. Pupils who are new to the school feel well supported. This helps them to settle quickly into the school community. Many pupils spoke positively about the wide range of extra-curricular activities, such as sports and the school musical production. They can take part in trips and visits to outdoor residential centres. Pupils on the Bosco group have opportunities to develop their leadership skills, such as leading assemblies on mental health and well-being.
