What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 October 2023

Pupils are proud to be part of this highly inclusive school. Leaders have established a powerful vision: 'be remarkable, be determined, be proud'. This inspires pupils to live out these values through their exemplary conduct and attitudes to learning. Trinity Academy Akroydon is a vibrant, friendly and happy place in which to learn. The school has established an ambitious curriculum for pupils to study. From Reception to Year 6, pupils master the skills that they need to become independent learners. This motivates pupils to be resilient when learning something new or mastering a new skill. Pupils extend their skills by taking on many leadership roles in the school. These roles are a golden thread that inspire pupils to contribute to their school community. Pupils are rightly proud of their school. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Adults apply their high expectations of behaviour and routines consistently well. This supports pupils to manage and regulate their own behaviour, whether adults are present or not. If pupils struggle, adults provide highly effective support to help them to get back on track. Pupils recognise the importance of their learning, so lessons are calm and focused. All pupils understand that what they learn now will support their ambitions for the future.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the most important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember needs to be more carefully defined. Pupils have some gaps in their knowledge. The school should continue to review this knowledge as part of its continual refinement of the curriculum.
