Leaders have not established an ambitious curriculum. This means that pupils do not achieve well in a range of subjects. Pupils are not supported to gain the knowledge and skills that they need to prepare them for the next stage of their learning. Pupils’ behaviour is often inappropriate. Incidents of disruption in class are too common. Pupils often show negative and disrespectful attitudes towards staff and each other. Staff do not have consistently high enough expectations of pupils’ attitudes towards their learning. This means that too many pupils lack focus and do not take enough pride in their work. This often goes unchallenged by staff. Staff do not have high enough expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils are not progressing as well as they should. Pupils’ learning is often disjointed within individual subjects and across the curriculum. This is limiting the amount of knowledge that pupils acquire by the time they leave the school. Pupils say that they enjoy coming to school. They say that bullying does happen, and staff usually sort it out. They enjoy the chance to develop leadership skills through being a prefect or part of the school council.
