Pupils' behaviour in lessons is productive. Working relationships between all staff and pupils are positive. Pupils said that if they had any concerns, an adult would help them. Leaders have clear policies to deal with any incidents of bullying if these occur. Leaders have created an environment where all pupils are kept safe. Pupils know that they are part of a larger school community and they follow the trust's values.

What the school should improve

• In a few foundation subjects, teaching does not focus sharply on ensuring that pupils revisit and, in turn, embed their understanding of important subject content. This affects how well pupils build up and remember knowledge in these subjects. Leaders need to ensure that all teaching helps to develop pupils' subject-specific knowledge and skills securely.
