What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Pupils thrive at King's Oak Academy. The school expects them to 'work hard, be kind', and pupils strive to do this. There are high expectations of what pupils can achieve academically and of who they can become. Pupils' achievement has improved rapidly in many areas of the curriculum. Warm relationships underpin the school's calm atmosphere. Pupils feel safe and happy. The school has built a sense of belonging, so pupils have a positive view of school. Staff make sure that pupils feel welcome when they arrive at school. Leaders make sure that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disability (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils, have a rich set of experiences from Reception Year onwards. Pupils develop their talents and interests, whether these are sporting, musical or artistic. The school develops additional activities based on pupils' interests. For instance, they offer volleyball, parkour and football events that promote inclusivity. This school is at the heart of the local community. It provides high-quality pastoral support to pupils and families. This reduces the risks to pupils' welfare and enables them to flourish in their lives beyond school.
What the school should improve
- Some aspects of the school's improvement work have begun recently and have not had sustained impact. Pupils' achievement is not consistently high at the end of key stage 4. Some pupils miss out on learning due to poor attendance. The school and trust should ensure improvements have a positive impact on the standards pupils achieve so that they are well prepared for their next steps.
