What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2024
Pupils are proud to attend Pix Brook Academy. They know that staff are highly ambitious for them. Pupils are determined to meet the school's expectations. Pupils follow a demanding curriculum that develops their knowledge and skills. They appreciate that staff will give them the support they need to be the best they can be. If pupils ever feel unsafe or worried, they know who to turn to. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They work with focus and enjoy taking part in lessons. Pupils support each other to do well. There are many 'buddies' who help new or younger children. Outside of lessons, pupils treat everyone with courtesy and respect. Most pupils attend an increasing variety of clubs. These include debating, cheerleading and many sports. Pupils enjoy taking part in a growing range of trips. They visit places of worship from different faiths. Consequently, pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), grow in confidence and learn about the world around them. The school prepares its pupils for adulthood. They learn how to keep healthy and safe, how to be good citizens, and about the importance of diversity. Older pupils learn about the dangers of extremism.
What the school should improve
- In a few areas of the curriculum, teachers do not always make the most effective pedagogical choices. This means that pupils do not always secure important knowledge as well as they might. The school should ensure that these teachers get the training and support they need so that they can consistently make the most effective pedagogical choices to support pupils to secure learning well.
