What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
The school's motto, 'No limits. No barriers', is exactly what pupils experience at Ocean Academy. Pupils achieve exceptionally well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and those who are disadvantaged. Results from national tests are significantly above average at key stage 2. This is testament to the impact the school's curriculum has on pupils. Pupils' behaviour and their attitudes to their learning are impressive. They work hard in all subjects. They meet the high expectations teachers have, producing work that is of a consistently high quality across the curriculum. Pupils have a strong moral code. They understand the rewards and sanctions which they feel staff use fairly. Pupils have a vast range of opportunities to take on leadership roles. These contribute significantly to the daily life of the school. The anti-bullying ambassadors are proud of their roles and rarely have to sort out any fallouts between pupils. This is because pupils feel accepted as they are. The wider development offer is exceptional. Pupils benefit from a curriculum well beyond the academic. The offer is inclusive. Everyone has plenty of exciting opportunities to expand their interests and talents.
