School improving but tackling 'racist and misogynist' language

A troubled Liverpool schools is on the road to improvement - but concerns remain about behaviour remain, resulting in "racist and misogynistic insults" being used by pupils.

In its latest inspection report, Ofsted has rated Dixons Fazakerley as 'requires improvement' and the watchdog says it is showing signs of progress since being taken over by Dixons in 2021. The report say that some of the pupils affected do not report these issues because "they do not have full confidence that staff will deal with them." Ofsted advise the leaders at the school to implement "effective strategies to identify and address unacceptable behaviour so that pupils gain confidence that their concerns will be taken seriously."

But the report also adds: "However, the introduction of some strategies has been interrupted by changes in staff. Some of the work that the trust has started is only just beginning to have the intended positive impact." But Ofsted said that the Dixons trust has introduced a curriculum that is "ambitious" for pupils, including those with SEND. Most pupils now study a "suitably broad" range of subjects and curriculums are well organised.
