What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 November 2024
Pupils at Phoenix Academy have a thirst for knowledge. They are keen to make the most of the wide variety of opportunities available to them at this school. Pupils value the culture of mutual respect that exists here. This makes them feel safe and happy. Pupils start their day enthusiastically and are motivated to do well. For example, they appreciate the 'shoutouts' they receive for doing well during the day. The school has exceptionally high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All pupils access a broad range of subjects. They achieve excellent outcomes. This prepares them well for the next stage of their education or employment. In addition to the academic curriculum, pupils also take full advantage of the wider opportunities on offer in the school. For example, pupils in Year 7 to Year 9 attend at least one residential visit. These opportunities enhance pupils' social and independence skills. Pupils, including students in the sixth form, behave in an exemplary manner. They listen carefully in lessons, both to teachers and to one another. They participate keenly in learning activities and rarely disrupt their own learning or that of others. Corridors, the canteen and the playground are calm spaces for pupils to enjoy.
