- Pupils' behaviour deteriorates when teaching is weak
- Attendance is poor and leaders do not check absence rates closely enough

Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are in place, though the report does not explicitly state whether safeguarding is effective or identify specific safeguarding concerns.

Pupils make inadequate progress in reading, writing, and mathematics, with particular concerns about underachievement among boys, more able pupils, and disadvantaged students.
