Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Cambridge Academy for Science and Technology.”
- “They are well prepared for careers in science, technology and computing.”
- “Pupils in all year groups enjoy taking part in different projects, such as on the uses of forensic science, as part of the ‘challenge’ curriculum.”
To improve
- “However, pupils in key stages 3 and 4 do not have a secure enough knowledge of the features of world religions.”
- “This is because while pupils do explore some aspects in assemblies and lessons, leaders have not provided enough curriculum time to study different faiths in sufficient depth.”
