What This School Does Well
The school has made real progress in reducing suspensions and improving behaviour through innovative approaches like restorative action. Staff receive strong support and professional development, which is helping create a shared understanding of effective teaching. Pupils now have better opportunities for enrichment activities and feel increasingly heard about their concerns.
Key Strengths
- Behaviour has improved significantly with fewer suspensions and better pupil responsibility through restorative approaches
- Strong support systems in place for pupils with SEND and less-experienced teachers
- Attendance improving with targeted interventions showing positive results for individual pupils
- Pupils increasingly confident in reporting bullying and understanding gender discrimination issues
- Staff morale improved with greater stability and feeling valued by leadership
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching quality remains inconsistent across the school and needs further development
- Pupil outcomes and quality of written work are not improving quickly enough
- Support for disadvantaged pupils lacks clarity and consistency, affecting their progress
- High levels of persistent and severe absence, particularly among disadvantaged pupils
- Some pupils reluctant to report discriminatory behaviour due to lack of confidence in staff response
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective with pupils confident bullying would be dealt with and familiar with reporting procedures, though some concerns remain about staff response consistency.
Extracurricular Activities
Geography field trip to Aberystwyth, virtual work experience day, theatre workshops, tutor time activities
