What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 February 2023
Pupils enjoy being part of Corngreaves Academy. Pupils and staff embrace the school's motto 'together we learn to succeed'. Leaders are ambitious and have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils realise these expectations and achieve well. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils enjoy acquiring new knowledge, but also understand the importance of supporting each other to achieve their best. Pupils say the school is like a family. They help each other with learning and with their behaviour. Pupils behave well. They are respectful and polite. This means that pupils' learning is rarely disrupted. Adults check on how pupils are feeling each day. Pupils know there is always someone to talk to if they have a worry. Adults deal with bullying effectively, when it does occur. As a result, pupils feel safe. Leaders provide pupils with opportunities to develop their character. Staff encourage pupils to become resilient. Pupils know that 'marvellous mistakes' help them to learn. They value the opportunity to contribute to school life through a range of different leadership roles, such as safeguarding champions, anti-bullying ambassadors and prefects.
What the school should improve
- Leaders are still developing assessment systems in a small number of foundation subjects. Teachers do not always know how well pupils have remembered the important information from their previous learning. Leaders need to develop effective assessment systems in these subjects, ensuring that this does not create unnecessary workload for staff.
