Strengths
- “Pupils blossom at Wistaston Academy.”
- “They are proud to attend this remarkable school.”
- “Pupils, who shared their views with inspectors, said that their school is a fun place to learn.”
To improve
- “The published data does not reflect the strength of the educational offer at this school.”
- “In 2023, some pupils’ attainment in reading at the end of key stage 1 at the expected level and at the greater depth level in writing and spelling and grammar at the end of Year 6 was significantly below the national average.”
- “Due to the very low starting points of many children and pupils, it takes time for them to catch up with their peers nationally.”
