What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
At Kingsbury Academy pupils truly are 'learning for today, preparing for tomorrow'. The school's focus on this motto ensures that it provides an aspirational environment where autism and the wide range of ways in which pupils and staff successfully communicate are celebrated. Pupils thrive here and learn exceptionally well. Parents and carers agree. One comment, typical of many, is that 'the school has made my children shine.' Staff understand the additional vulnerabilities that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have, particularly those with complex needs. Pupils' safety in and out of school is top priority. Pupils are taught how to communicate when they need help. The school effectively works with a range of agencies and charities to support pupils and families who need extra help. Staff know pupils and their families very well. They act quickly to support pupils when they become anxious and need help with their emotions. Consequently, pupils are calm across school, the majority of the time. The school actively establishes connections with workplaces that promote and support individuals with communication needs. It advocates for autism in the workplace, aiming to ensure that pupils have career ambitions. Many pupils experience the world of work, such as helping weekly in a local supermarket.
