St Agnes Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 May 2024

Pupils are curious, compassionate and courageous at St Agnes Primary Academy. They thrive on a rich, exciting curriculum that extends well beyond the academic. An exceptional enrichment programme complements the curriculum seamlessly. Pupils develop their sense of local, regional and global citizenship in meaningful ways. Everyone is encouraged to take part in these activities, and most do. As a result, pupils who are disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are included in all parts of school life. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. This starts in Reception, where children quickly respond to adults' high expectations. They show high levels of self-control, sharing and collaborating well during learning. Pupils build positively on this, showing increasingly strong attitudes to learning as they get older. They have great respect for one another. The school's 'tweak for the term' keeps a focus on the little things that make the biggest difference. This helps maintain exceptional standards of behaviour. The school's partnership with parents is particularly strong. Pupils benefit hugely as a result. For example, attendance is significantly improving for many. Pupils understand that attendance and punctuality are life skills that will help them in the future.
