What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

Pupils are provided with the best possible start to their education at The Crescent Academy. This stems from the high levels of ambition the school has for all pupils. The school's vision to 'enrich through experiences, to educate and enjoy learning' is realised. Pupils excel in the rich range of academic, personal and social learning opportunities that the school provides for them. The comment of one parent reflects the thoughts of many, 'This school is nothing short of amazing. The things they do and teach the children are incredible.' Pupils meet the high expectations of behaviour that the school has. This begins from the moment children join the Nursery. Pupils live by the school rules of 'always tell the truth, respect everybody and give everything your all'. Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school. They appreciate the many opportunities that the school provides for them. Pupils make good use of the school's gym, cinema and other facilities. In addition, leaders plan a wide range of activities that are deliberately designed to prepare pupils well for life in their local community and beyond. One pupil commented, 'The school helps us to achieve our goals and have a good life.'
