Strengths
- “The vast majority of pupils are happy at Nene Park Academy.”
- “Well-tailored support helps them succeed.”
- “For example, those pupils who need it benefit from ‘SOCA’ or ‘ACE’ provisions, where their specific needs are well met.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, the quality of pupils’ work does not reflect this.”
- “However, teachers do not always ensure that this translates to pupils producing high-quality work.”
- “Consequently, some pupils’ work does not reflect the depth of what they have learned within lessons.”
