Winton Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 May 2024

Winton Academy is highly ambitious for all pupils. At its heart is the desire to develop young men who are excellent learners, highly effective communicators and compassionate individuals. Pupils leave the school with impressive qualifications that prepare them well for their future studies and careers. The school ensures that pupils have the confidence to enter their adult lives as well-informed and active citizens. The behaviour of pupils at this school is exceptional. The school has high standards for pupils' conduct. On the very rare occasion where behaviour falls below the standard expected it is rapidly addressed. Pupils value this clarity and the disruption free learning that takes place as a result. Pupils are polite and courteous to adults and each other. They enjoy taking part in events such as the international food festival to widen their understanding of the world. There is a warm and inclusive culture within the school. The school's house system is a vibrant part of school life. Pupils engage in a rich range of activities while representing their house. Sports fixtures, escape room challenges and academic Olympiad events enable many pupils to contribute to winning the annual competition. Through 'house service' pupils volunteer in the local community. For example, leading arts workshops and coffee and chat in local care homes. Pupils see these projects as opportunities to give back and help others.
