What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 April 2026

Pupils enjoy coming to Pegasus Academy. They work well with their teachers and each other. Staff care for pupils and will go the extra mile to help them succeed socially, emotionally and academically. Older pupils, particularly the most vulnerable, have access to support to help them with their learning and prepare for their next steps. All pupils benefit from a well-designed curriculum, with a broad range of subject options at key stage 4. This enables them to study subjects that interest them. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and disadvantaged pupils, make progress through the curriculum from their starting points. Pupils achieve well. The school encourages pupils to 'dream big'. There is a well-structured careers programme that has strong links with local colleges and businesses. Pupils are encouraged to consider careers outside of their direct experience. Leaders talk continuously about raising aspirations. An increasing number of pupils now move on to ambitious post-16 courses when they leave school. Pupils are mature and sensible in the classroom and around the school. They value being part of a thriving, diverse community. They are respectful towards each other. They enjoy coming to school and attend regularly. Bullying is dealt with effectively. Pupils feel safe in school and are confident in asking for help when they need it. The school has effective pastoral systems in place to support its most vulnerable pupils. The school provides many opportunities for trips and visits. For example, Year 7 pupils recently visited the theatre to enhance their learning of the English curriculum. Many trips are offered as rewards for good work or behaviour. Key stage 3 pupils have visited the cinema or the seaside as part of their rewards offer.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders should ensure that teachers consistently check what pupils have remembered and understood and use this information to adapt teaching where needed.
  • Leaders should continue to improve pupils' attendance, particularly for those who are persistently absent.
