Ofsted

In 2023, Ofsted graded the Academy as "Outstanding" overall, and in each individual category.

Since our inception in September 2018, we have set out to create a purposeful and happy learning environment, and a fully comprehensive and inclusive Academy that supports the ambitions and aspirations of our students and their families. 

We are therefore delighted to share the result of our first Ofsted report. The inspectors graded the Academy not only “Outstanding” in terms of its overall effectiveness, but also in each of the four grading categories: Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development and Leadership and Management.

The report is testament to the hard work and commitment of our students, their families, our staff, the Academy Governing Body and the Harris Federation; the 'outstanding' judgment represents a truly communal effort.

You can read the full report here, and some highlights are provided below.

The Academy's page on Ofsted's website, where the report is also published, can be found here.
