Strengths
- “Nunthorpe Academy is a school where pupils and students feel safe.”
- “In many subjects, pupils enjoy their learning.”
- “Students in the sixth form are positive about school and are benefiting from a structured, nurturing, and focused learning environment.”
To improve
- “However, some lessons in key stages 3 and 4 are disrupted by poor behaviour, which means that suspensions are high.”
- “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not consistently receive the support that they need in lessons.”
- “Teachers do not always use the strategies identified in ‘pupil passports’ to effectively identify and address the gaps in knowledge of pupils with SEND.”
