School Description

Most of the time, pupils can learn without interruption. Pupils said there have been positive changes to the behaviour policy recently, but they would like their relationships with staff to improve further. However, expectations of how pupils should behave as they move around the school site are not high enough. Too often, pupils’ behaviour is poor. A minority of pupils make inappropriate comments which make others feel uncomfortable. Pupils have opportunities through the curriculum to learn and think about important values, such as mutual respect. Despite this, a small proportion of pupils hold intolerant views. While most pupils feel able to report bullying and have confidence that leaders will deal with this, some pupils experience discrimination from their peers. The school includes a special centre for pupils with autism spectrum disorder: The Cedar Centre. Pupils attending The Cedar Centre achieve well. They are supported to make their ambitions a reality. However, other pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not have such a positive experience. In some subjects, their needs are not understood well enough.
