Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend Academy@Worden.”
- “They appreciate the range of wider, cultural opportunities that are on offer to them.”
- “Pupils treat each other with kindness.”
To improve
- “However, the school does not systematically identify the needs of a small number of pupils until too late in their school journey.”
- “Consequently, some pupils do not receive the support that they need quickly enough.”
- “However, the school does not routinely use the information that it gathers about behaviour or some other aspects of its provision effectively enough.”
