Leaders have started to work with other schools to plan what pupils will learn, and when. As a result, many pupils are beginning to learn more than they have previously. This is not true for all pupils. Those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not achieve well. Teachers are often not aware of how to help pupils with SEND to learn. Often, pupils with SEND sit in lessons without learning anything. The new behaviour policy means that lessons are disrupted by poor behaviour less often and that teachers can teach. Pupils told us that behaviour has improved in lessons because they do not want to get a detention. Many pupils and parents feel that the new behaviour policy is unfair. They feel that the reasons for the changes have not been communicated effectively. Pupils are not taught consistently to respect people who are different from themselves. Pupils and staff told us that discriminatory language, particularly regarding sexual orientation, is commonly used as ‘slang’ around the school. Pupils accept it as the norm and do not challenge or report it. Bullying happens around the school. Pupils told us that it is often overlooked by staff as ‘banter’ or ‘just boys being boys’. When bullying is reported to staff, it is investigated and dealt with but not always as quickly as it could be.
