New leaders have a lot to do to improve the school. Pupils’ learning is often disjointed in individual subjects and across the curriculum. The curriculum is not sufficiently well planned and coherently constructed to meet pupils’ individual needs. Some pupils enjoy school, attend well and work hard in their lessons. High levels of staffing ensure that pupils get lots of attention throughout the day. Staff work patiently with them. They encourage pupils to do their best. However, too many pupils do not attend school often enough. This means that they cannot get the support they need to develop the knowledge and skills required for future training and employment. Many pupils behave well in lessons. Sometimes, pupils with special educational needs find school hard. Some staff have limited knowledge of how to support pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs. They do not manage inappropriate behaviour as effectively as they should. Pupils feel safe at school. They know that staff care about them. Pupils cannot recall incidents of bullying but trust staff to listen and help if they are worried about anything.
