School Description

Many pupils are not happy at this school. They told inspectors that they do not feel safe due to the behaviour and attitudes of other pupils. Inspectors found that sometimes staff do not feel that they have the support from senior leaders to keep themselves, or pupils, safe from harm. Leaders do not have high enough expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Some pupils said that leaders do not take their concerns seriously. Pupils are regularly exposed to fights and aggressive behaviour. Swearing and the use of derogatory language by pupils are commonplace. Pupils’ behaviour in lessons and at social times is poor. There are frequent disruptions to lessons. Pupils’ unruly behaviour at social times prevents other pupils who are in lessons from learning. Bullying is rife. Many pupils engage in racist, homophobic and misogynistic namecalling. During the inspection, inspectors observed a significant number of pupils who displayed no respect or tolerance for the differences between themselves and other people. The personal development provision for pupils is new. Leaders have been slow to introduce effective provision that addresses the discriminatory behaviour that pervades this school. Pupils are not prepared for life in modern Britain. Leaders do not have high enough expectations of what pupils can and should achieve. Across the school, in many subjects, pupils’ achievement is poor. The curriculum is ineffective.
