What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
Pupils are happy at Alleyne's Academy. This is because pupils have many opportunities to enjoy memorable experiences. The school has high expectations for the achievement of all pupils and students. Leaders and staff are committed to the school and help pupils to realise these expectations. Thanks to strong and respectful relationships, pupils and students achieve increasingly well. Pupils typically behave well at Alleyne's Academy, both in lessons and at social times. They understand that teachers or other adults will support them skilfully. The school works extensively in the local community to help pupils to thrive and stay safe. Pupils speak very highly of the range of opportunities and trips which the school organises. They especially appreciate the many sporting activities, and educational trips both locally and abroad. These include a battlefields trip to research former pupils who fought in past wars, trips to Iceland and New York, visits to Chester and to a local theme park. Through all this, the school lives its values: inclusion and opportunity; respect and tolerance.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not ensured that assessment is used precisely enough to identify when pupils have fully understood their learning. As a result, misconceptions or gaps in learning are not consistently identified and closed. The school should ensure that assessment is used effectively in order to check pupils' understanding, and that teaching closes the gaps in pupils' learning.
- The school's new behaviour policy is inconsistently applied, and further work is needed to track its impact. This means there are inconsistencies in how the school's high expectations for pupil behaviour are upheld, and the school's tracking of this does not yet give leaders a clear enough picture of impact. The school must ensure that the new policy is consistently understood and applied by staff, and that it is evaluated for impact.
- The school's self-evaluation has not been sufficiently focused on the impact of its work. This means that the school is sometimes unclear on the effectiveness of its actions. The school should ensure that it evaluates the impact of its work effectively, so it can plan and drive further improvements.
