Morley Newlands Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 October 2024

This is a school with exceptionally high expectations for pupils. These expectations extend beyond what pupils should achieve academically to how they should behave and the range of experiences and opportunities they should benefit from. Beginning in the early years, children are taught explicitly how to behave and to develop positive behaviours for learning. The youngest children in school become enthusiastic, keen and willing sponges for the carefully crafted curriculum that they are taught. At each stage of their education, pupils are very well prepared for the next phase of their learning. In classrooms and around school, pupils behave with maturity and consideration for others. Pupils work with independence and focus. They are proud of their learning and achievements in the curriculum. The school's high expectations include for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school identifies these pupils quickly. These pupils receive just the right amount of support at just the right time. They are highly successful in their learning. Pupils develop a deep understanding of different groups in society. They become reflective, active citizens who care about the world. Pupils understand how different subjects they are taught open doors for future careers.
