Strengths
- “Many pupils enjoy attending school.”
- “Staff greet pupils at the entrance each morning to remind them about the schools’ expectations of behaviour and learning.”
- “This helps pupils to feel safe and to be ‘ready to learn’.”
To improve
- “However, the school has not ensured that a significant minority of pupils consistently behave with respect for adults and other pupils.”
- “Around the school, particularly in social times, too many pupils behave in a way that leaves other pupils feeling afraid or unsafe.”
- “New leaders in place acknowledge that there is significant work to be done to address bullying in the school.”
