The school does not support pupils to fulfil their potential. Expectations are too low. Staff do not challenge pupils sufficiently and routinely accept low-quality work. Pupils’ workbooks are often poorly presented, lacking care and attention. Pupils do not learn a meaningful, challenging curriculum. In most subjects, they miss out on large chunks of knowledge, so do not learn everything they should. This leads to significant gaps in their knowledge. When pupils fall behind, they do not get the extra help they need and continue to struggle. Pupils are respectful, courteous and polite. Pupils are safe while at school and attend well. They are adamant that bullying does not occur. In lessons, pupils often lose focus and struggle to re-engage with their learning. This happens when lessons do not support pupils to know and remember more. In addition, some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are not identified quickly enough so they do not get the support they need. Pupils are not prepared well for life in modern Britain. They are clear about their own Christian faith, but they have a weak understanding of other religions. Pupils are unfamiliar with fundamental British values, such as democracy and tolerance. They are confused about mental health, equality and different cultures.
