Although most pupils said that they feel safe and happy, they do not get a fair deal at this school. Pupils, and children in the early years, are not kept safe. Neither do they receive the quality of education that they deserve. This is particularly true for those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Most pupils are polite and they enjoy strong friendships with their peers. They understand that leaders have high expectations of their behaviour. Pupils said that behaviour has improved recently. They are enthusiastic and keen to learn. Still, in many subjects, the curriculums have not been well thought out. Pupils do not achieve well because leaders’ expectations of what they can do are not high enough. Most pupils are welcoming and understand the importance of respect. However, a few pupils speak disrespectfully about people who they perceive to be different. Pupils trust that if they shared concerns with staff, most would listen and do their best to help them. If bullying is reported, leaders deal with the issues seriously. That said, many pupils lack an awareness of how to recognise bullying. This means that they are less likely to report these types of problems. Pupils do not benefit from a rich menu of experiences to complement their learning. They have few opportunities to develop their talents and interests. Some pupils take pride in the special responsibilities that they carry out. These include acting as school councillors and anti-bullying ambassadors.
