“Leaders have worked closely with families to improve the attendance of pupils at the academy. Fewer pupils are absent or excluded because effective preventative monitoring and support are in place. The curriculum is broad and balanced. Leaders have taken effective action to add new subjects and approaches, while ensuring that key literacy, mathematics and communication skills are taught in a systematic way across subject areas. The academy cares for pupils well and they generally feel supported and safe.”
