Leaders at SGS Pegasus ‘aim to develop the whole child’. However, they have not ensured that pupils learn a sufficiently ambitious curriculum. Leaders have not been clear enough about the important knowledge they want pupils to know and remember so that teachers can deliver this in lessons successfully. Pupils are motivated and well-mannered. This is a calm school where pupils follow the values of ‘Be safe, Be respectful, Be responsible and Be kind’. Pupils like coming to school. There are strong relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils’ conduct in lessons means they can usually learn without disruption. Staff have effective systems in place to manage pupils’ behaviour. Pupils feel safe and agree that the school is a ‘nice, kind and friendly place to be’. Pupils do not have concerns about bullying. They say there are adults they trust if they have any concerns or worries. Pupils' social and emotional development is a high priority for leaders and staff. This is enhanced by providing a range of experiences beyond the classroom, for example different positive role models, therapies and targeted support. As a result, pupils are ready to learn.
