What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Pine Green Academy has been on a transformational improvement. Positive relationships are at the heart of the school. Staff believe in their pupils and pupils believe in themselves. As a result of this, pupils are confident, safe and happy. The school environment is warm and welcoming. There is a calm and orderly atmosphere. Pupils are polite and respectful to staff and visitors. Pupils know the behaviour that is expected of them. This means that low-level disruption is managed well. Staff take time to understand the pupils' needs and interests. Adapted resources help pupils access their learning. Personal interventions help pupils gain a deeper understanding of themselves. As a result, the school's provision for pupils' personal development plays a major role in preparing them effectively for the future. The school's work on careers is exceptional. Pupils take part in a range of work experience activities, including in retail, healthcare, animal care and automotive services. As a result of this, pupils have ambitions and are well prepared for adulthood. Pupils achieve well. At the end of Year 11, pupils achieve a range of qualifications. These include entry level qualifications, BTEC National Diplomas and GCSEs. All pupils move on to a positive destination, ranging from apprenticeships to college placements.
What the school should improve
- The school has not yet implemented its assessment strategy fully. As a result, in some subjects, some gaps in pupils' knowledge are not identified and addressed, and so remain. The school should ensure that its approach to assessment is implemented securely across all subjects so that teachers can accurately identify what pupils can remember and build on their prior knowledge.
- The school does not have oversight on how all aspects of the curriculum are being implemented. This means that, in some subject areas, some pupils are not remembering the curriculum securely. The school needs to ensure it has effective systems in place to accurately identify strengths and developmental areas across the curriculum.
