School Description

Over the last few years, there has been instability in staffing. This led to inconsistencies that had a negative effect on pupils’ education. It is only recently that things have started to improve. Many pupils, before joining Phoenix, had negative experiences of school. It takes time for them to settle. But when they do, most start to make progress. Pupils learn about a variety of interesting topics. Teachers rightly spend more time helping pupils to improve their literacy and numeracy skills. Planned educational trips make their learning more memorable. Some subjects are not as well planned, and pupils do not achieve as well in these areas. Leaders are working hard to address these weaknesses. Staff show a lot of care towards pupils and keep them safe. Most pupils enjoy school and willingly take part in learning activities. A few pupils with very challenging behaviour find it more difficult to remain focused. They sometimes refuse to take part or follow instructions. Some staff are skilled at managing these situations, but others are not. Sometimes bullying happens, but teachers deal with it quickly, so it is less likely to occur again.
