School Description

The education and care provided at this school are inadequate. Although pupils feel safe in school, they are not protected well enough. Some staff are not sufficiently expert in helping pupils behave well and safely. Many staff are temporary or inexperienced. Leaders do not make sure that pupils learn enough. The curriculum is poorly organised. Its content is patchy. Lessons are often disconnected. Many staff teach work that pupils find too easy. Pupils come to this school because they need extra help. But they do not always get enough of it. Although staff work hard, they often lack clear guidance from leaders about how to help pupils learn. Despite this, most pupils are happy at the school. Many are polite and take pride in the work they do. Nearly all grow in confidence. Pupils are usually kind to each other. A few have concerns about bullying. Recent staff shortages resulted in leaders closing the school. Many parents have serious concerns about this. They worry about the school’s leadership, the quality of education and the welfare of pupils. Staff also have concerns about the school’s current position. They are worried that pupils are not taught or cared for well enough.
