What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 December 2024

Chetwynd Spencer Academy is an exceptional school where pupils are firmly at the heart. Everyone does their best to live the one school rule: 'Be kind.' Kindness is everywhere. Pupils understand the 'starfish values' (sportsmanship, tolerance, appreciation, resilience, friendship, integrity, sensitivity and helpfulness). They are encouraged to fulfil these values both in school and in the community. Pupils say that these values will help them to live their best lives. Staff have high expectations of behaviour and for pupils' learning. Pupils live up to these expectations exceptionally well. Classrooms are calm, purposeful and exciting places to learn. Pupils rightly say that staff care about them and help them to learn new things. Pupils feel safe at school. Parents and carers agree that they are. Pupils are confident to tell an adult if they have a problem. Many say that the 'worry monsters' are a helpful way to communicate any worries they may have. Pupils trust that they will be listened to and supported. A wide range of experiences are available for pupils to enjoy. There are various clubs on offer in which pupils can take part. 'Rattle and roll' and 'magical maths' are current favourites. The school actively seeks and supports pupils' talents.
