What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
Whittle Academy is an inclusive school with a warm, caring ethos. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are particularly well included in school life. There is a strong sense that everyone will achieve. One parent said, 'Every child is welcome here whatever their needs.' This reflects the views of many parents. The school sets high expectations. Everyone expects pupils to work hard and behave well. This starts in early years. Here, children learn the school's core values 'care for ourselves, care for others, care for the world'. These values are part of everyday life throughout the school. This culture contributes to pupils' good behaviour. Pupils try their best and take pride in their work. They build their knowledge and skills well as they move through the school and are ready for the next phase in their education. Pupils enjoy many wider curriculum experiences such as residential trips and local visits. They benefit from external visitors including authors. These activities enhance learning and broaden their horizons. They love participating in events with other schools. Everyone is proud of the Whittle Warblers who recently sang at a national Young Voices event. These activities prepare pupils well to become active and caring citizens.
What the school should improve
- A small number of pupils who have fallen behind in their reading do not have sufficient time to practise the sounds that they have learned. This slows down the rate at which they become fluent and confident readers. The school should ensure that all pupils who fall behind in reading frequently practise new sounds so that they become fluent and confident readers.
