Strengths
- “Broadway Academy is an inclusive school.”
- “The headteacher has built positive and trusting relationships with local community leaders.”
- “This means the school is at the heart of the local area.”
To improve
- “However, in Years 7 to 11, some teachers do not check pupils’ understanding within lessons well enough.”
- “This means teachers do not always know which pupils are stuck, and the reasons for this.”
- “This slows the learning of some pupils.”
