What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
The Mosley Academy is a happy place where kindness supports children to learn and grow. Pupils and staff form warm and caring relationships. This helps pupils to feel safe, happy and secure at school. Pupils know who to report concerns to should they feel worried. The school has a high ambition for all pupils to achieve well, and most do. They do so because a well-designed curriculum supports them to learn important knowledge and vocabulary. The Mosley Academy is a school where everybody is included. Pupils learn that being different is something to embrace. They enjoy learning about other cultures and faiths, developing mutual respect and tolerance. Pupils look forward to breaktimes and behave well. They enjoy socialising and forming new relationships. They play creatively and excite their imagination in the vast school grounds. Pupils understand what bullying is and know that it is not acceptable to make others feel different or isolated. Pupils benefit from a wide range of activities and experiences that develop their talents and interests. Many pupils take part in clubs that they have designed and set up. Cadets, 'tech deck' and online quizzing are just a few of the activities that pupils enjoy taking part in.
What the school should improve
- At times, teaching does not consistently enable pupils with SEND to work with independence. This limits pupils' success and their ability to complete work independently. The school should ensure that teaching consistently meets the needs of all pupils to develop their independent learning skills.
- The school has not yet ensured that teaching consistently identifies and addresses misconceptions in pupils' written work. This affects the quality of pupils' written work and means that they are not achieving as well as they could in their wider writing. The school should strengthen this aspect of the teaching of transcription and ensure that gaps and errors in pupils' understanding are addressed more systematically.
