Pupils are happy at this nurturing school. They benefit from trusting relationships with kind and compassionate staff. Pupils told inspectors that they feel cared for and safe. They appreciate the learning opportunities that the school provides. All staff want the best for pupils. However, in some subjects, this aim is not realised fully. This is because the school’s expectations of what pupils should achieve are not high enough. Weaknesses in how well the curriculum is designed and delivered in some subjects mean that some pupils, all of whom have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do not develop a deep body of knowledge over time. They do not achieve as well as they could. The proprietor has not done enough to prevent a decline in the quality of education at this school. It does not provide the school with the support that is needed to bring about improvement. Typically, pupils behave well. They try their best to follow the school rules and to work cooperatively together. Over time, pupils become confident and resilient learners. They are proud to talk about their learning. Pupils benefit from activities that help to keep them physically active. For example, they enjoy football and trampolining. Pupils enjoy meaningful and worthwhile events and visits. Nevertheless, aspects of the school’s provision for pupils’ personal development are underdeveloped. This means that some pupils are not prepared sufficiently well for life in modern Britain.
