The school has experienced considerable turbulence in leadership and staffing over the last three years. This has had a negative impact on pupils’ learning. Current leaders and governors are ambitious for all pupils. Recent improvements to the curriculum are beginning to pay off, especially in reading and mathematics. However, pupils do not gain the essential knowledge they need to be successful in all subjects. Pupils are polite and friendly. They feel safe in school because adults care for them well. Leaders expect pupils to have a voice and take on roles of responsibility, such as school councillors and sports ambassadors. Pupils carry out these roles with pride and maturity. Leaders set high expectations for pupils’ behaviour and conduct. In lessons and at breaktimes, pupils of all ages behave sensibly. They enjoy a range of activities, from sports to climbing on the tyres. Pupils say that behaviour is much better than it used to be. Bullying is rare. Pupils are confident that adults will sort out any problems quickly. Leaders place a strong emphasis on supporting pupils’ mental health. However, the opportunities to broaden pupils’ personal development are not wide enough. For example, pupils’ knowledge of some aspects of British values is patchy.
