What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils build positive relationships with staff at Sir Robert Pattinson Academy, which helps them feel safe and happy. Staff clearly communicate high academic expectations, and pupils strive to meet them. The house system fosters community and encourages friendly competition. Pupils take pride in representing their houses, participating in events, earning points and celebrating successes together. The school rewards positive behaviour, effort and achievement through a well-established system of rewards and achievement cards. These motivate pupils to excel. Sporting achievements receive recognition through ties, which symbolise individual and team successes and promote a culture of extra-curricular contribution. The school integrates its core values into its daily practice. Positive relationships between pupils reflect inclusivity and fairness, while academic challenges and personalised support inspire ambition, resilience and mutual respect. Pupils engage in a wide range of enrichment activities that enhance their personal development and expand their horizons. International trips to Italy and France provide valuable cultural and educational experiences. Sports clubs, including football, netball and badminton, improve physical well-being and nurture individual talents and interests. Most parents and carers praise the school's supportive environment and recognise improvements in their children's confidence and academic success.
What the school should improve
- Teaching does not consistently check that pupils have remembered essential knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not have the pre-requisite knowledge they need for future learning. The school should ensure teaching checks routinely that pupils have secured the knowledge they need for later learning.
- The strategies to support some pupils with SEND are sometimes used inconsistently. When this happens, some pupils with SEND do not achieve as well as they should. The school should ensure that the appropriately identified strategies are used consistently and effectively to support all pupils with SEND learn the curriculum.
