Strengths
- “Outwood Academy Adwick is a friendly and inclusive school where everyone is welcome.”
- “Leaders pride themselves on their high expectations.”
- “These expectations are met by the majority of pupils.”
To improve
- “However, lessons are still affected by low-level disruption from a minority of pupils.”
- “Leaders recognise that more work is required with a small group of pupils to ensure their behaviour improves more rapidly.”
- “Where assessment is less secure, staff do not always identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge as well as they might.”
