What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
All Saints' Academy is ambitious for pupils to achieve well and to be prepared for their future steps. However, these ambitions are not being fully realised for pupils in all areas of the curriculum. Consequently, pupils and students in the sixth form do not achieve as highly as they should. The school has recently raised expectations about behaviour. Pupils and staff are clear about what behaviour is unacceptable. There are fair consequences for pupils who do not behave well. However, at times some pupils do not show a positive attitude towards their work. Where pupils have difficulty changing their behaviour, the school provides additional support, for example through the Life Centre. Pupils appreciate that they can increasingly learn without disruption. All Saints' Academy is an inclusive school with a strong sense of community. Sixth-form students act as role models for younger pupils by running clubs and sporting events. Pupils undertake personal challenges, such as completing the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and taking part in mock trial competitions. They enjoy volunteering in the local community, for example visiting residents at a local care home. The forthcoming school production is providing great excitement for both pupils and staff, offering a further chance to develop creative talents.
What the school should improve
- At times, the curriculum is not well implemented. On these occasions, some pupils do not receive the same high-quality education and, as a result, do not learn the curriculum as well as they could. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented effectively.
- Assessment is not always used effectively to check pupils' current knowledge and understanding. Consequently, some pupils are not supported to resolve gaps and misconceptions. The school should ensure that the checks teachers make are used to inform adjustments to the curriculum and its delivery, so that pupils achieve well.
