Titan St Georges Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 June 2024

Pupils are at the very heart of everything at St Georges. They speak highly of their relationships with staff and how they get the help they need to learn. Pupils engage with learning well. This is despite almost all of them having had a disrupted experience of education before. The school works holistically to find out what barriers exist for pupils as they arrive. Pupils' additional needs, including special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are identified well. Appropriate support is put into place to help them. Pupils settle in quickly. They understand that staff care deeply for them and want them to succeed. Pupils feel safe and go on to do well in their studies. Some pupils are able to sustain a return to a mainstream school. Those who complete their time in Year 11 go on to positive next steps in their education or training. Pupils' personal development is central to how the school supports them over time. Pupils talk positively about the trips they experience. They are helped to build their aspirations through these trips, their lessons, and other opportunities. Pupils work towards understanding that they can succeed well and make the most of the opportunities they have through this fresh start.

What the school should improve

• Sometimes school policies in place are not always implemented consistently. So, the actions taken to support pupils at times are not as impactful as they could be. The school should ensure that all staff routinely apply the school's policies to support pupils' development further.
• Punctuality is not as strong as it could be. As a result, pupils miss valuable time in lessons. The school should consider how to support pupils to access more of the ambitious curriculum being delivered.
