What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
Skegness Junior Academy is a school where care and kindness are shown in abundance by staff and pupils. Behaviour around the school is calm. Pupils play and learn together in a warm and welcoming school environment. They demonstrate a positive attitude towards their learning and live up to the high expectations that teachers have for them. Most pupils achieve well. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are encouraged to have high aspirations. The school focuses on developing essential skills that will help pupils to succeed in life beyond school. These skills include teamwork, problem-solving and creativity. Pupils take on leadership opportunities, such as being part of the school council, mini police or being eco-warriors. Pupils enjoy representing the school. They talk positively about being part of the school community. Bullying is rare. Pupils feel safe. They know who they can speak to if they have any worries or concerns. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe, including online. They access opportunities to develop their talents and interests beyond the classroom. These opportunities include trips and extra-curricular clubs, such as dance club, school choir and football club.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of subjects, the school does not use strategies that consistently help pupils to remember their knowledge of previous learning. When this is the case, pupils are not able to recall important knowledge, including key subject-specific vocabulary, and do not deepen their learning as well as they could. The school should ensure that pupils consistently receive high-quality guidance that helps them to know and remember more of what they have studied.
- There are some minor weaknesses in the consistency of the school's record-keeping of possible safeguarding concerns. Some follow-up actions are not always recorded or easily found. This makes it difficult to monitor concerns and to understand what actions have been taken. The school needs to ensure the system for recording and analysing concerns about pupils is used consistently and that there is robust oversight of the system and the actions undertaken.
