What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
There is an exceptional sense of community at Aston Manor Academy. Staff forge strong relationships with pupils and provide high-quality pastoral care. Pupils know that if they have any concerns, there is someone to turn to. This helps pupils to feel safe. Almost all parents and carers are highly positive about the school. The school sets high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). It has established a consistent approach to managing pupils' behaviour highly effectively. Pupils behave very well in lessons and around the school. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. Learning in different subjects links well together and moves smoothly from one key stage to the next. Pupils learn well. The school's values of 'all different, all equal, all achieving' drive its daily life. The school pays great attention to developing pupils' character, such as increasing their confidence. Pupils learn about different cultures and world events. The school uses links with other education providers and local organisations effectively. This helps ensure that careers education is a firm strength. Many pupils also take part in a range of clubs at lunchtime or after school. Students thrive in the sixth form.
What the school should improve
- Staff do not always have a full understanding of the strategies and approaches the school is aiming to implement to improve classroom practice. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they might. The school should ensure that its strategic priorities to develop teaching expertise are fully understood by all staff and implemented consistently.
