School Description

Pupils do not learn enough at this school. Leaders have not made sure pupils have lessons which help them build up their knowledge and deepen their understanding. Therefore pupils, including those who attract the pupil premium, are not well enough prepared for the next part of their education. Pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are not having their needs met well enough. Leaders and teachers do not know how to use teaching materials and adapt lessons to help these pupils achieve well. The pupils we spoke with had a very limited understanding of how to stay healthy and of British institutions. This is because leaders are not making sure there are clear, well-organised plans to teach pupils about these things. Some parents and carers are concerned that pupils behave poorly at the school. Not all pupils enjoy school enough. We heard about pupils who are frightened when fights occur or lack enough confidence to use the school toilets. However, other parents are more positive about pupils’ behaviour. We saw pupils who were respectful to one another and worked hard in lessons. Staff communicate well with each other to tackle any concerns raised about bullying. When pupils say they stay off school because they are being bullied, attendance workers make sure senior leaders are alerted to this. Leaders then act promptly to do something about it.
