Strengths
- “Pupils at Haywood Academy, and students in the school’s sixth form, enjoy coming to school.”
- “They feel part of a caring community that supports them to do as well as they can.”
- “Pupils are very appreciative of the many and varied experiences and opportunities that help them to prepare for their next steps.”
To improve
- “However, results in national tests at the end of Year 11 do not yet reflect the impact of the revised curriculum.”
- “However, formal assessment is not always used as well as it could be to identify where curriculum design could be further improved.”
- “There is less clarity about how the sixth form ensures that all students are well prepared for their next steps by the end of Year 13.”
