What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 June 2023
Pupils enjoy attending the Endeavour Co-Operative Academy. It is a happy school, where pupils benefit from strong relationships with staff. Pupils describe the school as being a family. Pupils trust adults in school to look after them and prioritise their best interests. They are supported with both their learning and with socialising during breaktimes. There are organised opportunities for pupils to play in team games and sports during the school day. These are sometimes led by the sixth-form students. Classrooms are calm and settled, and pupils focus on their learning. Pupils are tolerant of each other and respectful of differences in others. They say their school is a safe space. Pupils trust that, were bullying to occur, staff would keep them safe. Important issues for their safety are regularly discussed in assemblies, and pupils appreciate the regular reminders. Pupils enjoy many opportunities to develop personal skills and prepare for adult life. Pupils use public transport to visit local voluntary organisations and use local sporting facilities. The school welcomes visitors to speak to the pupils. A travelling librarian has been organised by the local Headteachers' Association, and pupils engage in discussions about books shared.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, including personal, social and health education, the curriculum lacks detail on the component knowledge to be taught. This means that pupils may not build a suitable depth of knowledge, such as their understanding of democracy. Leaders need to ensure that the component knowledge to be taught is specified so that pupils can learn well across the curriculum.
- Some pupils in key stage 2 lack the phonic knowledge to read with fluency, and they do not get as many opportunities as they should to read phonetically decodable books. These pupils therefore lack the reading skills needed to access the wider curriculum. Leaders should ensure that pupils learning phonics get books to read that match the sounds they know.
