Pupils are openly proud of their school and what they describe as the ‘massive’ progress it has made of late. Their own progress in classrooms is also now clearly much better than it was in the past. Older pupils in particular have positive views about the many changes for the better in recent times. Expectations of pupils’ behaviour and engagement in learning have been raised considerably. The school now expects much more of all learners, no matter what their backgrounds or barriers. As a result, pupils are stepping up to the mark and most are forging ahead, including those who attend the school’s specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (specially resourced provision). There is no doubt that the behaviour of some pupils got in the way of learning in the past. However, the current situation is quite different, and incidents of poor behaviour or bullying have reduced dramatically. If bullying, aggression, discrimination or derogatory language occur, they are dealt with quickly and effectively and are not allowed to spread. Pupils feel safe, are learning well and disapprove of what they describe as ‘small dramas’. The tide has turned at Delce, and the school is moving forward at a great rate of knots.
