What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 June 2022

Pupils at the Co-op Academy Nightingale embody the four 'Ways of Being Co-op'. Pupils know the four values and talk about them. Pupils are proud of their diverse academy community. They show respect for the many ethnicities, religions and languages spoken. Pupils from each year group are 'young interpreters'. They support new pupils to understand the academy routines using their preferred language. This helps to prevent new pupils from feeling isolated. Pupils have strong views about the importance of equality. They feel everyone is treated equally at the academy. Leaders have ambition for all pupils to access high-quality education. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and pupils who speak English as an additional language have intensive support to ensure that they can access the curriculum. Behaviour in most lessons is calm and well managed. Pupils follow the academy's behaviour policy. They know what the different traffic light colours mean and the consequences for being on the red light. Adults manage behaviour well during playtime when pupils can be more energetic. Pupils know what bullying is. They will tell a teacher they trust to help them sort it out if it happens. Pupils have linked with members of the community to form an eco-club. Together, they created a garden in the academy grounds that is used for outdoor learning.

What the school should improve

  • Some curriculum leaders are new to subject leadership and need support and training to develop their expertise. They are in the early stages of understanding the responsibilities connected to developing a curriculum area. Training will help to ensure that they understand the strengths and areas for development in their area of curriculum responsibility.
  • Leaders have not implemented an assessment system for the wider curriculum. Leaders use pupil voice learning parties to gather information about the current project. This does not give specific pupil progress information for each curriculum area. Leaders should ensure that they develop an assessment system to help inform future curriculum thinking.
