What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2023
Staff at Castleford Three Lane Ends Academy have high expectations of pupils. Castleford Academy Trust support this ambition. Pupils are happy and feel safe. In lessons, such as art and history, pupils work purposefully. They remember what they have been taught in previous lessons. In discussion and debates, pupils converse well. They are polite and respectful to each other. Behaviour is calm and orderly. Pupils are honoured to be nominated for a 'PRIDE' award by their peers. Pupils present their work in books well. They take on responsibility and show independence. All members of the school community embrace equality of opportunity. Pupils are in admiration of the significant figures in history they have studied, such as the suffragettes. Pupils can explain about the injustice experienced by these groups. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. Pupils enjoy attending clubs after school, such as choir and art. Staff link educational trips and visits to curriculum topics that the pupils study. A trip to a zoo, for example, helped pupils to remember more about the rainforest. Pupils enjoy their annual residential, where they work as a team and learn how to complete tricky tasks.
What the school should improve
- The school has not developed an accurate and consistent system to check what pupils know. This means that teachers cannot accurately identify gaps in pupils' knowledge or misconceptions in pupils' learning in all subjects. Leaders should ensure that a consistent system is in place that helps teachers to purposefully check what pupils do and do not know across the breadth of the curriculum.
