Strengths
- “Outwood Academy Ormesby is rapidly improving.”
- “The school is increasingly successful in reducing the barriers that pupils face so that they receive an inclusive, high-quality education that improves their life chances.”
- “Pupils enjoy the improved experiences of school.”
To improve
- “However, as yet, pupils do not achieve or attend school as consistently well as they should.”
- “This is also the case for disadvantaged pupils, who are not routinely well prepared for their next steps.”
- “Despite these improvements, there are a small number of pupils who present disruptive behaviour.”
