Pupils are happy at this welcoming and diverse school. Leaders and staff ensure that all pupils are accepted, and that different cultures are celebrated. Leaders, including governors, are ambitious for all pupils. However, the quality of education is not yet good. Significant turbulence in leadership means that planned improvements to the curriculum have not happened. As a result, pupils are not developing their knowledge as well as they could. Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ conduct. Pupils like the recent changes to the way behaviour is managed. They say that bullying is rare, and that staff take swift action to address any issues. However, teachers do not always have high enough expectations of pupils. Not all pupils have acquired important behaviours and attitudes to support their learning. For example, older pupils sometimes do not commit themselves to producing good-quality work. Relationships are strong because pupils trust adults to keep them safe. Pupils learn to respect one another. They interact well during learning and breaktimes. Recent work to address poor attendance is beginning to ensure that fewer pupils are regularly missing school.
