Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Academic Progress: Pupils do not make the progress they are capable of because learning is often disrupted by poor behaviour.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Many pupils show a lack of respect for staff and each other, using derogatory language and swearing.
Qualifications and Training: Teachers appreciate the training to improve teaching, including for early career teachers.
Current Educational Practices: Training is researched based, designed to interest pupils. However, lessons are often disrupted by poor behaviour.
Strengths and Challenges: Stronger subjects like languages and science use assessments well; however, too many lessons are disrupted, leading to ineffective learning.
Handling Conflicts and Concerns: Leaders are aware of what needs to be improved but struggle to manage behaviour effectively.
Actions for Quality Improvement: Trust leaders support to improve the school, but much is new; too soon to see the impact.
Promoting Welfare and Safety: Strong policies, training, and external agency links ensure effective safeguarding.
Managing Bullying and Safety: Bullying occurs but is mostly dealt with by staff.
Career Counselling Services: Pupils receive robust support next steps into education, employment, and training.
Managing and Supporting SEND: A significant minority of pupils with SEND do not study the same curriculum as their peers and do not receive needed support.
Subjects Offered: Range of subjects at key stages 3 and 4 is broad but some do not cover the full national curriculum.

We genuinely take great pride in our inclusive mindset and dedication to helping every child realise their full potential. Our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) strategy, which includes the prestigious Centre for Emerging Sciences, Engineering & Technology (CESET) based at the University of Bradford and also includes support from significant local businesses, places a special emphasis on employability skills. Pastoral care is a top focus, and we make sure that every student, no matter what their goals or talents, is known and cared for. We have a good local reputation for the calibre of our work in this area, and it is growing. The development of appropriate attitudes and skills for adult life is our top priority.
