What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 February 2024
Pupils are proud to be part of this exceptional school. Leaders have established an influential motto, 'be the best you can be'. Pupils are inspired to live out this motto through their exemplary conduct and interactions. Pupils see themselves as leaders in their school. They know that their contribution matters and that their voices will be heard. The school has established a highly inclusive culture. Pupils and adults treat each other with the utmost respect. Pheasant Bank Academy is a vibrant and happy place to learn. The school places no limits on pupils' academic and personal development. The school and the trust have established a curriculum that enables a deep study of each subject. Pupils rise to this ambition. For example, they write in detail about the legacy and impact of Roman Britain. The school brings this curriculum to life for pupils by providing carefully planned visits. These visits inspire pupils' thirst for knowledge. For example, following their visit to Creswell Crags, pupils explained how Stone Age peoples created leather garments. The rich range of visits that the school provides deepens pupils' learning. The school applies its high expectations of behaviour and routines consistently well. This supports pupils to manage and regulate their own behaviour, whether adults are present or not. If pupils struggle to manage their own behaviour, adults provide effective support to help them to get back on track. Pupils recognise the importance of their learning, so lessons are calm and focused. All pupils understand that what they learn now will support their ambitions for the future.
