What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 May 2025

Hearsall Community Academy is a very special place. Pupils are, rightly, incredibly proud to be part of this inclusive school. They enjoy attending school each day and are keen to learn. The school's motto, 'Reach your true potential', is more than just words; it is a message that staff and pupils live by. The school has high expectations for behaviour and achievement, and pupils eagerly rise to meet them. The school's values of 'learning, nurture, respect, joy and trust' are embedded in school life. Pupils treat each other kindly and respectfully. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and supportive. Pupils are well cared for. They know that there are trusted adults to speak to if they are worried. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe and healthy, including when online. There are many exciting opportunities available to pupils beyond the classroom. They enjoy taking part in residential trips, competitions and a wide range of clubs and other activities. Pupils take on important roles in school, such as equipment monitors, school councillors and being part of the junior leadership team. These enriching experiences help pupils to grow in confidence, develop new skills and enjoy school life to the full.

What the school should improve

  • Occasionally, misconceptions and small gaps in knowledge are not identified and addressed swiftly enough. This means that pupils' learning is sometimes moved on before they have secured their understanding. The school should ensure that teaching identifies and addresses pupils' misconceptions and gaps in knowledge routinely well, so that pupils learn the curriculum with even greater success.
