Pupils have been severely let down by leaders in all aspects of their school life. They do not receive the quality of care or education that they deserve. Despite this, pupils enjoy being with their friends at school. However, they are expected to spend their playtimes in grounds that are poorly maintained and, in parts, strewn with hazardous litter. Pupils learn in classrooms that are dirty and damaged. On occasions, pupils are not properly supervised. This puts them at risk of harm. Leaders’ expectations for pupils’ achievement are too low. The work that teachers give to pupils does not help them to learn well. For example, at times, the work set by teachers does not support pupils to learn the knowledge in the curriculum. Added to this, some pupils do not understand the work because teachers do not provide clear explanations. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do not achieve well. Leaders’ expectations for pupils’ behaviour are equally low. Pupils’ behaviour is sometimes inappropriately boisterous while moving around school. This occasionally leads to a lack of care for the safety of fellow pupils. That said, pupils are generally polite to adults. Pupils said that bullying is rare. They trust that adults will address it quickly if ever it happened. Although pupils know that they must respect people who they perceive to be different to themselves, they do not learn about all of the protected characteristics. Neither do they receive an appropriate programme of impartial careers education, advice and guidance. This prevents pupils from being fully prepared for life in modern Britain.
