What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Adderlane Academy provides a very warm welcome to pupils and their parents and carers. Pupils are safe and happy in school. They enjoy coming to school each day. Pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons and at breaktimes. They abide by the school's moral code by 'speaking nicely, listening carefully, acting kindly and moving calmly'. Pupils enjoy learning. Children in the Nursery Year, for example, jump up and down with joy when singing their favourite counting rhymes. This first school has high expectations of its pupils. By the time they leave Year 4, pupils are fluent readers, possess strong writing skills and are increasingly able mathematicians. They are prepared well for the demands of middle school education. Pupils, such as the 'well-being ambassadors', carry out roles of responsibility in school willingly and thoughtfully. They contribute fully to the school's calm and purposeful atmosphere for learning. Pupils' learning is enhanced through completing 40 'pledges' such as kite flying, beach combing and theatre visiting. Parents are overwhelmingly happy with the school's provision for their children's education. They appreciate the way in which the school recognises and supports their children's individual talents and needs.
