What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 June 2023
Scout Road Academy is welcoming and friendly. Pupils arrive at school each morning happy and looking forward to the day ahead. Leaders have cultivated a kind and considerate school community. Positive relationships between staff and pupils are evident throughout the school. There is a culture of high expectations for all. Pupils are proud of their school and enjoy learning. They are polite and well mannered. Pupils play cooperatively together and demonstrate positive relationships. They enjoy accessing resources at playtimes, such as sand pits, trim trails and wildlife areas. Bullying is rare. Pupils know how to turn to adults for help. Pupils have many opportunities to be responsible citizens who contribute positively to society. For example, visits to a climate cafe and tree planting provide opportunities for pupils to make a positive difference to the local community. Inter-school sports competitions are frequent and of high quality. Children enjoy participating in a range of sporting competitions, including cross country, athletics, rugby, cricket and netball. These events often give pupils the opportunity to compete at local sporting venues.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not defined fully the key knowledge to be taught. As a result, pupils do not develop a deep understanding of these subjects' content. Leaders should continue to develop and refine curriculum plans to ensure that all set out precisely what pupils must learn and when.
