What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
Pupils at Lynch Hill Enterprise Academy enjoy being part of this inclusive school community. They appreciate that staff get to know them well and provide them with the care and support they need. Pupils feel safe at this school and know that they can speak to an adult if something is concerning them. This includes bullying, which pupils generally agree is tackled effectively. Although some pupils are concerned about disruptive behaviour in their lessons, this has reduced over time and is managed well by teachers using the school's systems. Despite improvements to the quality of education at the school, pupils still do not achieve as well as they should. Pupils recognise that the school has high expectations of them, but these are often not realised. Some pupils struggle to access the work in lessons because the curriculum is not adapted consistently well. The school prioritises pupils' personal development, including through a wide range of extra-curricular clubs. Educational trips and visits are used to broaden pupils' horizons and enable them to understand the world around them. There is a particular emphasis on careers and encouraging pupils to think ambitiously about their futures by visiting workplaces and meeting with employers.
What the school should improve
- The school does not make consistently good use of information about pupils' needs and ability to adapt the delivery of the curriculum. This means that some pupils do not learn as well as they should. The school should ensure that teachers have the expertise to deliver the curriculum in a way that is more responsive to pupils' prior knowledge and any additional needs.
- Pupils are often given tasks that do not challenge them sufficiently to connect and apply their learning. This means that pupils sometimes remember what they have learned but struggle to apply it confidently, for example in extended writing tasks. The school should ensure that the delivery of the curriculum includes frequent opportunities for pupils to practise applying what they have learned.
