What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Wold Academy is an extremely warm and caring school. The school sets high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. In lessons, pupils help each other if they get stuck. They listen attentively when their classmates are explaining an answer. Pupils enjoy working in groups. Pupils understand there are different types of bullying. It is not an issue, but pupils are sure that adults would step in to help if it ever happened. The school provides a broad and ambitious curriculum. Pupils enjoy learning. They say that teachers make lessons interesting and fun. Pupils achieve well in their learning and personal development. They acquire the skills and knowledge they need to become successful, happy and well-rounded citizens of the future. The school provides pupils with many well-considered experiences that broaden their understanding of the world. Pupils take part in after-school clubs, such as crafts, judo, Lego and chess. They benefit from going on a wide variety of trips and residential visits. Pupils are proud of the way that they represent the school in different sports events, both locally and within the trust. Pupils have opportunities to take on different roles in school. For example, the school council is working on how to improve outdoor play.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes in the wider curriculum, staff move pupils onto new learning before identifying and addressing any knowledge gaps and misconceptions. This hinders pupils from being able to build up their knowledge as well as they could. The school should ensure that pupils have secure foundational knowledge and understanding on which they can build and deepen their learning successfully.
- The school's approaches to reducing the absence of pupils with SEND are not as effective as they could be. This means that they frequently miss out on learning and are at risk of falling behind their peers. The school should review and enhance their approaches to tackle low attendance so these pupils attend as regularly as their peers.
