What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
It is an exciting time to be at Edge Hill Academy. In recent years, there have been many changes that have introduced new ways of doing things. There exists a determination to drive sustained improvements for the good of the pupils and families that the school serves. A newly implemented curriculum is improving what pupils know and remember. Pupils speak with excitement about some of the subjects they study and are increasingly able to link prior learning to new. Leaders are doing the necessary things to ensure that all pupils fulfil their academic potential quickly. Most pupils behave exceptionally well. They are polite and welcoming. Many demonstrate positive attitudes to learning and feel that strong relationships with each other and staff help them to feel happy and safe. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. Debating club, forest school and being part of the many school teams are all things that pupils feel support their wider enjoyment of school. Many feel that their voice and ideas really matter and that being a pupil leader is something to be really proud of.
What the school should improve
- Recent changes to some curriculum learning sequences mean that pupils have gaps in their learning, as they have not covered the whole curriculum. This means that pupils do not have sufficient knowledge in some areas to develop a deep understanding of the new concepts they encounter. The school should ensure that teachers identify and address any gaps in pupils' learning to enable them to learn new concepts successfully.
- Some leaders have not been able to monitor the impact that their respective subject curriculums is having on the development of pupils' subject-specific knowledge and skills. This means that the identification of whether refinements to learning sequences are required has not yet taken place. The school should support all leaders to monitor the implementation of the curriculum effectively.
