Good Inspected 7 June 2022
Strengths
- “Meadowhead School Academy is an inclusive and welcoming school, with a popular sixth form.”
- “They care about each other and treat each other with respect.”
- “They respect the differences between people.”
To improve
- “However, leaders know that there is some more work to do to ensure that this level of curriculum detail is consistent across every subject.”
- “At times, teachers are less consistently clear about what essential knowledge pupils must know and this stops pupils from deepening their knowledge over time.”
Safeguarding: Effective
