Bohunt School Worthing continues to demonstrate good performance, with a focus on ensuring that pupils enjoy their learning and achieve well. The school is characterized by a warm and inclusive atmosphere, where pupils feel safe and supported by staff. There is a strong emphasis on building positive relationships and maintaining high expectations for behaviour, contributing to a largely distraction-free learning environment. The school's extensive range of extra-curricular offerings further showcases its commitment to pupil development. However, the inspection identified some areas needing improvement, particularly regarding clarity in assessment feedback for pupils on how to reach their learning goals. Additionally, the delivery of the personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) curriculum has not been uniformly effective, leading to gaps in some pupils' understanding of essential concepts such as democracy. This inspection was the school's first since being judged good in September 2018.
