Canary Wharf College Crossharbour is currently rated as requiring improvement, having shifted from a previous good inspection grade. The school is under the leadership of an interim headteacher, Geoff Roberts, and is part of a multi-academy trust. While there are notable strengths in the school’s ambitious curriculum and a generally orderly environment, there are significant concerns related to the support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and those struggling with reading. Many pupils indicate a lack of confidence in reporting safety concerns, contributing to an overall perception of an inconsistent approach to safeguarding and behaviour management.
