Strengths
- “Pupils at Barlby High School are happy and safe.”
- “There is a deep sense of community, and pupils are regarded as individuals.”
- “Staff understand the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and the barriers that some other pupils face, for example those who are known to children’s social care and those who are disadvantaged.”
To improve
- “There are some inconsistencies in the way some staff use the behaviour policy to address the occasional instances of low-level disruption, more typically from some older pupils.”
- “In a small number of subjects, more work is needed to help pupils to deepen their knowledge and understanding further.”
- “Leaders recognise the need to embed their recent changes in these areas to ensure that pupils achieve consistently well across the curriculum.”
