What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 September 2022
Leaders are ambitious and determined for all pupils to succeed. Disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do well. Leaders have ensured that teachers have the training they need to support pupils effectively. All staff work hard to understand pupils' needs. Pupils at Goole Academy conduct themselves well in lessons and around school. There is a calm and orderly atmosphere. Teachers use clear routines and systems to reinforce expectations for behaviour. As a result, pupils are able to focus on their learning in lessons. Leaders have prioritised staff training to support pupils' mental well-being. Staff provide pupils with effective and timely support. Pupils feel safe in school. They know how to report any incidents of bullying. Pupils are confident that staff will listen and act quickly on their concerns. Parents have noted the improvements over time and are complimentary about the school. Leaders and governors have a clear focus on building strong links with the local community for the benefit of the pupils. This includes building links with local colleges and employers to support pupils to remain in education, access training or gain employment.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils struggle to recall key knowledge in some subjects. This means that pupils do not have the most important knowledge or concepts they need to access new learning. Teachers should regularly check that pupils have secured this knowledge and are able to make links to new learning.
- Over time, some pupils have not had access to the full curriculum offer for personal, social and health education (PSHE). This means that a small minority of pupils have gaps in their understanding of aspects such as the fundamental British values. Leaders need to ensure that all pupils benefit from the full range of the ambitious PSHE curriculum to ensure they are prepared for life in modern Britain.
