Strengths
- “The school has high expectations for all pupils at Ormiston Ilkeston Enterprise Academy.”
- “Pupils demonstrate the school’s values of courage, ambition, respect and excellence.”
- “They say that the school’s ‘CARE’ values are motivational and have made a big difference to the behaviour and attitudes of pupils that attend the school.”
To improve
- “However, this is due to recent improvements and is not reflected in published examination results.”
- “However, in some subjects, the work given to some pupils does not enable them to develop their ideas and extend their answers as well as they could.”
- “This does not support pupils to have a deeper understanding of the school’s desired curriculum.”
