Ormiston Endeavour Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 March 2022

Ormiston Endeavour Academy is a harmonious and safe place where pupils trust the staff to look after them. Pupils told inspectors that they enjoy coming to school. They enjoy positive relationships with adults who know them well. Pupils appreciate and live up to the staff's high expectations of behaviour and achievement. Pupils are attentive in their lessons and work well. Pupils interact with each other respectfully during social times. They enjoy positive relationships with their peers. Pupils are comfortable to report any concerns they have, including any related to bullying. They are confident that staff will resolve such issues quickly and effectively. Pupils benefit from a broad and ambitious curriculum. Pupils access a good-quality curriculum that allows them to learn well, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils. The 'Endeavour Experience' provides pupils with a wide range of clubs and activities. For example, pupils talked positively about the recent trip to the theatre in London. Others talked about their involvement in reopening a local swimming pool.

What the school should improve

• Leaders have undertaken extensive work on planning and delivering an ambitious curriculum. Leaders are still working on determining how they will assess and monitor pupils against the intended learning in some subjects. As a result, pupils are not always clear about the progress that they are making in each subject. Leaders should refine their approaches to assessment so that leaders, pupils and parents and carers are clear about the progress that pupils are making in all subjects within the well-planned curriculum.
