Strengths
- “Some curriculum subjects are well designed and contribute to pupils’ learning, such as in art and design.”
- “There is an appropriate careers programme, and pupils have access to independent careers advice.”
To improve
- “Inconsistencies in the school’s approach to behaviour management, coupled with a weak oversight of pupils’ welfare, contribute to an ineffective safeguarding culture.”
- “Some pupils do not feel safe due to the behaviour and attitudes of their peers.”
- “Many pupils do not report concerns because they do not trust the school to deal with them.”
Safeguarding: Not effective
