Strengths
- “Ernesford Grange Community Academy has high expectations for its pupils.”
- “They typically demonstrate these values in classrooms and corridors, which means they generally behave well and are polite.”
- “Pupils are positive about the school and speak positively about the sense of community.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes the checks of pupils’ understanding do not result in them being moved on to the more complex subject content when they are ready.”
- “This prevents some pupils from deepening their knowledge in some subjects.”
- “There remain a minority of pupils, including some who are more vulnerable, who do not attend as regularly as they should.”
