What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
There is a strong culture of warmth and inclusivity at Glascote Academy. The school's work to make sure pupils attend regularly and on time is relentless. Pupils enjoy attending each day. They benefit from the school's ambitious curriculum and enrichment opportunities. Pupils achieve well in school. The school sets high expectations of pupils' behaviour. The school rules help pupils to understand right and wrong. Classrooms are calm and orderly. Pupils settle quickly to tasks set and try hard to do their best. Social times are purposeful and enjoyed by pupils. They play games and explore the school grounds. Staff, pupil well-being leaders and sports leaders are on hand to support friendships and encourage sports skills. A wide range of opportunities to broaden pupils' horizons or learn new hobbies inspire pupils. The school's farm and outdoor learning activities are firm favourites. Pupils enjoy and benefit from the range of clubs on offer including tchoukball, archery, 'no-cook cooking' and sign language. A Victorian seaside immersion day or trips to a butterfly farm, space centre and snow experience help pupils to deepen their learning.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes errors and misconceptions in pupils' spelling are not identified and addressed. This allows these misconceptions to become embedded and means that pupils' writing is not of the high standard the school expects. The school should ensure that all staff have the expertise to identify and address pupils' errors in spelling.
- The school has not adapted some aspects of its curriculum to provide pupils with opportunities to apply their knowledge and secure a deep complex understanding of each subject. This means that some pupils are not able to learn in the depth they could. The trust should ensure that the school has the expertise and knowledge to adapt its curriculum to meet the needs of all pupils.
