The school has faced a prolonged period of turbulence in school leadership. This has had a negative impact on the day-to-day learning experiences of pupils. It has also contributed to a weak culture of safeguarding, meaning that pupils may be left at risk of harm. Since September 2022, leaders have taken steps to begin addressing some of the widespread safeguarding failings. Some pupils do not behave well. There are incidents of poor behaviour at playtimes where pupils hurt others. During lessons, it is typical for pupils to disrupt other pupils’ learning and not listen attentively. Leaders have not taken appropriate action to address pupils’ poor behaviour. Some staff are frustrated that behaviour systems are unclear. Consequently, staff do not deal with behaviour, including bullying, consistently well. There is no personal, social and health education (PSHE) curriculum in place. Pupils do not learn about healthy relationships or different types of families. They do not show respect for the differences of others. A small number of pupils learn about esafety, but this is not deliberately planned learning as part of the school’s curriculum. As a result, pupils do not learn how to stay safe online.
