Strengths
- “King’s Leadership Academy is an ambitious place for pupils to learn in.”
- “The school’s vision to raise aspirations for all pupils, regardless of their background or circumstance, is at the heart of every aspect of school life.”
- “Pupils develop a strong sense of character, self-belief and determination to succeed.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not use the school’s assessment strategies well to identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge and to reshape learning.”
- “This means that some teachers move on before pupils are ready.”
- “Consequently, a few pupils, including some of those with SEND, do not achieve as well as they could.”
