What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 June 2024
St Ann's Well Academy is a nurturing and inclusive school. It has high aspirations for all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, to achieve well. Relationships are at the heart of everything the school does. Pupils show courtesy and respect to each other and the staff. Pupils approach their learning with resilience and determination. Pupils demonstrate the school's high expectations both in their conduct and also in their highly positive attitudes towards their learning. Pupils are happy and feel safe. In lessons, pupils show consistently high levels of engagement. They listen intently and show a willingness to do their very best. Pupils are proud of their school and their individual achievements. One pupil shared, 'My school is special to me because it is safe and friendly. The adults here help me and I get a good education.' Pupils enjoy taking on extra responsibilities, for example by being a school councillor or a mental health ambassador. They take these roles very seriously and are proud of the positive contributions they make to their school community. Pupils can also access a wide range of after-school clubs. They value these opportunities along with the range of trips and experiences the school also provides.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum is at a relatively early stage of implementation. As a result, pupils' recall of knowledge in these subjects is not secure and some gaps in knowledge remain. The school should ensure that the curriculum is fully embedded across all subjects and regularly check the impact of this work so that pupils know and remember more of the intended curriculum.
- There is some inconsistency in how well subject learning matter is discussed with pupils. Some staff skilfully check pupils' understanding, identify misconceptions and provide clear, direct feedback. However, this is not always the case. On some occasions, misconceptions are not addressed quickly enough and subject matter is presented inaccurately. The school must ensure that subject matter is discussed with pupils consistently well so that pupils know and remember more of the intended curriculum.
