Too many pupils feel unsafe at this school. Their learning is too frequently disrupted by the poor behaviour of others. Some pupils told inspectors that they do not report bullying or unkind behaviour, because they think it will not make any difference or may make things worse. Adults want pupils to be happy and to achieve well. They aspire for pupils to achieve academic success that prepares them well for whatever future career they choose. However, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are not supported well enough to meet these aspirations. Leaders do not do enough to assure themselves that pupils are safe. Pupils are too frequently absent from school or lessons. Registration arrangements do not currently enable leaders to be sure whether students in the sixth form are on the school site. Despite all of this, many pupils conduct themselves well and do their best. They describe and demonstrate respectful relationships with their peers and teachers. They are frustrated by others who do not uphold their values, and the impact it has on their experience of school. They, along with some parents and staff, lack confidence in leaders’ work to improve other pupils’ behaviour quickly enough.
