Pupils are proud to attend this school. They described the support and care from staff as the main reason that they enjoy school and feel safe. They are confident that there is always someone who will listen to them and help them with any worries. Pupils understand the high expectations of leaders and staff for their behaviour. Most pupils behave well. Instances of poor behaviour outside lessons are dealt with rapidly and consistently by leaders. Pupils are confident that leaders will deal quickly and effectively with any issues of bullying that occur. Pupils said that this is a welcoming school where all are included. There is a wide range of activities for pupils to take part in. For example, there are sports clubs such as those for table tennis and badminton, reading groups and a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender club. Leaders want pupils to achieve well. They are in the process of designing an ambitious curriculum, but pupils do not learn as well as they should. This is because teachers do not routinely select the right approaches to delivering new learning.
