What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 March 2024
Pupils flourish at Martlesham Primary Academy (MPA). They are proud to attend this school. The support and encouragement of staff helps pupils become increasingly confident and resilient young people. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to develop their interests and learn about the world around them. They attend many clubs, from art to gymnastics. The '11 before 11' promises ensure that all pupils have a wide range of cultural experiences. There are many trips, including to the theatre and to meet famous authors. Pupils in Year 5 learn about the world of work. They meet adults with diverse careers. Pupils develop their confidence through the many leadership opportunities in school, including the school council. In lessons, pupils work hard and with enthusiasm. They try their best. Pupils look after each other. They welcome everyone, no matter who they are. Pupils experience an ambitious, engaging curriculum that prepares them for the next stages in their education. Staff know their pupils well. They use this knowledge to ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can access the curriculum. As a result, pupils at MPA achieve well.
What the school should improve
- Some staff do not have the knowledge they need to deliver the foundation subjects consistently well. This means that pupils do not always gain the knowledge that they should. The school should provide training to ensure that staff are as confident in teaching other subjects as they are in English and mathematics.
