What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Pupils thrive at North View Academy. Relationships between pupils and staff are caring and strong. Staff know pupils very well. Pupils rise to the high expectations that adults have for them. All pupils at the school have special educational needs and/or disabilities and have an education, health and care plan. Staff skilfully support pupils with their individual needs. This includes pupils who find communication difficult. Pupils trust the adults who work with them to support them if they have a concern. Pupils behave well. They move around the school calmly and with respect for each other. Some pupils struggle to manage their own behaviour. Staff respond to these pupils with skill and patience. They provide pupils with the support and guidance they need to regulate themselves better. Bullying is very rare. Records show that when it does happen, staff act quickly to stop it. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. The school ensures that staff plan for pupils' personal development throughout the school day. Pupils have the opportunity to take part in activities such as supporting local charities, developing their understanding of the local community and learning skills that will help them to develop their independence.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school's curriculum is not developed as well as it could be. Opportunities for pupils to build on their prior learning are limited. This means that some pupils do not make as much progress through the curriculum as they could. The school needs to further develop the curriculum in these subject areas to ensure that pupils are able to know and remember more over time.
