School Description

Raised expectations are helping to change the school’s culture. In recent years, pupils’ experiences of school have improved considerably. However, the school recognises that there is more to do to ensure that all pupils receive a good-quality education and that pupils’ behaviour and attendance meet the school’s high expectations. Most pupils recognise that the school has improved in recent years. Many are happy and enjoy school. Inspectors spoke to pupils who said that they now feel safe. Most pupils said that if they raise a concern, it is dealt with well by staff. The school has given careful thought to how pupils learn, and it has designed subject curriculums accordingly. However, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should. This is because there is inconsistency in how well the curriculum is delivered across the school. Standards of behaviour are improving because the school has established clear expectations for pupils’ conduct. Nonetheless, some staff do not apply the school’s behaviour systems consistently well. At times, lessons are still impacted by low-level disruption. Opportunities for pupils to contribute to the school community are growing. For example, pupils enjoy sharing their views during pupil council meetings. They know that they have a strong voice in the school.
