Our Ofsted reports

Ofsted inspectors last visited our academy on 9 June 2026, where we received an 'Exceptional' judgement for Inclusion and 'Strong' judgements across all other areas:

• Inclusion: Exceptional

• Achievement: Strong

• Attendance and behaviour: Strong

• Curriculum and teaching: Strong

• Leadership and governance: Strong

• Personal development and wellbeing: Strong

Among the strengths recognised by inspectors were:

• Our nurturing environment where pupils feel understood and ready to succeed

• Through targeted and effective support, pupils develop resilience, independence and positive attitudes to learning

• Our pupils re-engage with education and attend far more regularly than in their previous schools

• An ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum that consistently meets pupils’ complex needs effectively

• Careers education, advice and guidance is well thought through

• Our staff are driven by a common moral imperative to improve the lives of pupils and their families

• Our students trust that the adults around them only want the best for them

Understanding Ofsted's New Inspection Framework

The inspection was carried out under Ofsted's new inspection framework, which no longer gives schools a single overall grade. Instead, inspectors look separately at several areas to provide a more detailed picture of a school's strengths. Each area is evaluated as Exceptional, Strong, Expected, Needs attention, or Urgent improvement.
