Strengths
- “Pupils at Shavington Academy enjoy school and settle in quickly.”
- “Leaders and staff encourage pupils to revel in their learning and to become socially responsible citizens.”
- “Pupils are respectful towards each other, members of staff and visitors to the school.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders are still in the process of finalising their curriculum thinking.”
- “On occasion, this prevents some teachers from delivering aspects of the curriculum as leaders intend.”
- “While their efforts are improving pupils’ overall rates of attendance, some pupils, including those with SEND and those who are disadvantaged, do not attend as regularly as they should.”
