What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2023
The vast majority of pupils are happy at Nene Park Academy. Well-tailored support helps them succeed. For example, those pupils who need it benefit from 'SOCA' or 'ACE' provisions, where their specific needs are well met. Pupils value the house system. This ensures they have regular points of contact in terms of their form tutor and student support assistant. This helps them to be confident they will be listened to if they have worries. Pupils know there are high expectations for their achievement and attendance. They benefit from an interesting and engaging curriculum. They achieve well overall. Occasionally, the quality of pupils' work does not reflect this. Trips and visits help to bring the curriculum to life for pupils. They value comprehensive careers guidance that supports them to be well prepared for their next steps. Pupils behave well. Pupils like the new approach to managing behaviour because their views are better heard. Pupils learn to treat each other with tolerance and respect. They value that this is celebrated and rewarded through the 'PLEDGES' system. Pupils typically feel bullying is not an issue. The vast majority feel the school's new anti-bullying alliance 'STOP' approach addresses this effectively, where it does ever happen.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers do not check the quality of work that pupils have produced well enough. As a result, the work some pupils produce does not reflect the depth of what they have learned within lessons and is inconsistent. The school needs to ensure that teachers have consistently high expectations for pupils' work and that they support pupils to produce work that reflects the depth of their learning within lessons.
- The school has not ensured that all parents understand how perceived issues of bullying are resolved. As a result, a minority of parents remain unhappy about how the school addresses and resolves these issues. The school needs to work to engage and communicate further with parents to ensure that parents have more confidence in how issues they raise are resolved.
