Strengths
- “The majority of pupils enjoy attending Oasis Academy Don Valley.”
- “The school is improving after a period of turbulence since its previous inspection.”
- “Most pupils recognise the positive changes that are being made to the standards of behaviour and the quality of the curriculum, alongside the wider opportunities that they are able to access.”
To improve
- “However, in many aspects these are more embedded in the primary phase.”
- “Despite this, sometimes leaders’ high expectations are not reinforced by staff consistently.”
- “When this happens, pupils’ low-level misbehaviour is not addressed and continues to interrupt learning.”
