Having worked at Bower Park Academy in Havering for several years, in September 2012 I joined the senior leadership team and was given responsibility for “climate for learning”.
Our students are from diverse backgrounds, and we have above average numbers with English as an additional language students. We are also above average when it comes to free school meals students, and for the number of students who have SEN. Some of our students have had very difficult times at home and this expressed itself in their behaviour.
In the past two Ofsted inspections, Bower Park has been judged only satisfactory in the behaviour strand, with inspectors pointing out that behaviour was disrupting lessons and that students were overly boisterous outside of class.
