Pupils thrive and learn well at Maple Court Academy. They are happy and enjoy coming to school regularly. Pupils learn a lot about how to keep themselves safe. The 'Maple Musts' provide a clear set of expectations for pupils and staff alike. The school has high expectations for all pupils. Pupils work hard in lessons and successfully rise to these expectations. Pupils achieve well. In lessons, and around the school, pupils behave well. Pupils are polite and respectful of each other. They are articulate and express their views on current issues confidently. These include the importance of treating each other fairly, irrespective of differences in background or religion. There are many opportunities for pupils to support charities, including the local food bank. These opportunities enable pupils to contribute meaningfully to society.

These experiences help pupils to widen their horizons and further develop their character.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not deliver the intended curriculum well enough. This means that some pupils cannot remember the key knowledge they need to use in later lessons and so do not achieve as well as they could. The school should provide extra support to ensure teachers deliver the curriculum consistently well in all subjects.
- In some instances, teachers are not using assessment well enough to check on how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum. As a result, some teachers do not match future learning activities to the learning needs of pupils. The school should ensure that assessment consistently informs future learning for all pupils so that their learning needs are better met.
