Pupils enjoy learning and want to do well in school. They understand the value of education. Many pupils show pride in their achievements and have high aspirations for their futures. Pupils do not always learn and achieve in line with their potential because the quality of the school’s curriculum and provision is not consistently strong. Lessons are typically calm. Most pupils concentrate on their learning and work hard. Periodically, some pupils disrupt learning in some lessons. During social times, pupils enjoy each other’s company and have fun together. Pupils are safe at school and are well supported when concerns arise. Pupils have mixed views on how well bullying is managed. While bullying is not common, sometimes it is not resolved quickly enough. Students in the sixth form value their experiences at school and the support of their teachers. Students have a clear focus on their next steps in education or employment. They embrace the many opportunities the school provides for them to achieve academically and personally, including the nationally recognised groups learning about enterprise.
