School Description

Leaders are not vigilant enough in ensuring that safeguarding records and actions are recorded and addressed promptly. This means that leaders are not always sure if pupils, especially those who are vulnerable, are safe when they are not in school. Leaders have introduced a new culture for learning to help improve pupils’ behaviour. Staff and pupils understand this, and many have embraced it. Pupils know how staff expect them to behave in lessons and around the school. This is having a positive impact on the ethos of the school and behaviour in lessons. Many pupils told inspectors that school is a happier place. However, this is not so for pupils who struggle with their attendance and behaviour. Leaders’ support for these pupils is yet to enable them to make the improvements they need. Too many pupils miss too much school. Pupils are not concerned about bullying. They are confident that when issues arise, staff will address them promptly. Most pupils told inspectors that discriminatory language is rare and that it is not tolerated by staff. They said that they feel safe in school and know who to talk to if they have any worries or concerns. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful, and staff feel supported and valued. However, a small number of pupils said that they did not have the confidence to report sexualised language that made them feel uncomfortable.
