Strengths
- “Place Farm Academy pupils are at the heart of everything the school does.”
- “Pupils understand and show the school’s ‘PROUD’ values.”
- “They are professional, resilient, optimistic, understanding and driven.”
To improve
- “There are occasions where staff do not adapt the planned curriculum as effectively as they could.”
- “This means that activities are not always as closely linked to what pupils need to know or do as they should be.”
- “As a result, some pupils miss the chance to secure new, or develop existing, knowledge.”
