What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Linden Road Academy is a friendly and diverse school, where all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are welcomed. Pupils are taught by staff to celebrate and value the different faiths and cultures within the school community. Leaders have effective systems to tackle any incidents of poor behaviour or bullying. As a result, pupils feel happy and safe in school. Pupils work hard to meet the high expectations of their teachers. For example, pupils are keen to collect merits and badges in recognition of their positive behaviour, effort and achievements. They achieve well across the curriculum. Parents and carers told the inspector that they value being invited to weekly celebration assemblies to share in their children's successes. All pupils play an active role on the school council. This enables them to have a say in how the school is run. For example, pupils recently voted on how money should be spent to improve the school environment, choosing to buy cushions and beanbags for the library. Older pupils are eager to take on positions of responsibility, such as acting as class prefects. This helps to foster pupils' feelings of belonging to the Linden Road Academy community.
What the school should improve
- From time to time, some teachers do not check sufficiently well that pupils have a secure understanding of earlier learning. As a result, some pupils' misconceptions are not resolved quickly enough. Leaders should ensure that teachers are equipped well to use assessment methods effectively to check that pupils' earlier learning is secure.
- Some pupils in key stage 1 have gaps in their reading knowledge due to previous weaknesses in the early reading curriculum. This is preventing them from becoming fluent and confident readers. Leaders should ensure that staff identify and address the gaps in pupils' reading knowledge so that they can catch up quickly.
