School Description

Pupils are happy at this school. They benefit from a suitable range of enrichment opportunities, both in school and in the wider community. For example, pupils enjoy becoming school councillors. They take part in acts of kindness, such as by raising money for charity. Pupils have high levels of trust in their teachers. They are happy to talk to them about any worries that they might have. Pupils learn that bullying is not acceptable. They explained that staff are vigilant to any incidents of bullying around the site. Pupils have confidence that any incidents of bullying will be dealt with effectively. Pupils access a number of experiences throughout their time at the school to develop their interests in a range of careers. For example, they have had visitors to school from different employment sectors. Pupils have also enjoyed visiting various colleges and post-16 providers. This helps pupils to make informed choices for their next steps in education, employment or training. The school is raising its expectations of what pupils can and should achieve. However, in some subjects, these aspirations are not realised in pupils’ day-to-day learning. This is because some teachers do not design learning activities that fully meet pupils’ needs. Pupils, including some with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), struggle to access learning in some subjects. Furthermore, some pupils do not behave consistently well, disrupting the learning of their peers.
