School Description

Some pupils say that they are bullied, for example through frequent name-calling. These pupils are not confident that staff will tackle this. Sadly, they simply accept that this is how things are. Adults’ expectations are too low. Leaders do not respond appropriately when pupils, parents or carers have concerns about incidents that happen at school. They delay reporting allegations to professional agencies. Leaders do not monitor safeguarding practices well enough. This puts pupils at risk of harm. Staff often physically remove pupils from lessons, so that they can calm down. However, staff do not listen well enough to pupils’ views about the impact that these physical interventions have. This creates anxieties for pupils as they try to make sense of events. Pupils are rewarded for their positive attitudes on ‘fantastic Fridays’. They find working towards these events motivating. Many look forward to enjoyable activities, such as go-karting. Pupils behave well and support each other when activities are well structured and interesting, such as during breaktimes outside. When learning does not meet pupils’ needs and interests, there are frequent behaviour incidents.
