What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
Madni Academy is an exceptional school where pupils flourish. The school is highly inclusive. Adults work closely with pupils to foster a sense of belonging and harmony. British values are carefully threaded through all learning and purposefully combined with the school's values. This ensures that all pupils are very well prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Excellent behaviour is an expectation across all phases in the school, from children in the provision for two-year-olds through to pupils in Year 11. Pupils are sensible and mature. They follow clear routines that are familiar to them. Pupils are highly motivated to learn. The school has a strong focus on securing the highest levels of attendance for all pupils. Leaders work closely with parents and carers and pupils to help them understand the importance of arriving on time. Leaders are passionate about making sure that all pupils can benefit from the education and experiences the school offers. The school has carefully considered the emotional and mental health of pupils. The outstanding care that staff demonstrate for pupils is evident throughout the school. Pupils know that they can speak with adults if they have any concerns. All pupils spoken with could explain how they are taught to manage the different risks they may face, both when online and offline. Pupils feel safe in school and in the wider local community.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the purposeful changes to the school's curriculum are not implemented securely and consistently. This prevents pupils from achieving highly in all subjects. The school must continue to support all teachers to develop a clear understanding of the changes to the school's curriculum. Teachers must carefully check that lessons match the school's written curriculum offer and that they provide pupils with disciplinary knowledge (how the experts in that subject think) that matches their factual subject knowledge.
