Strengths
- “Derby Moor Spencer Academy is a diverse and inclusive school.”
- “Many pupils and staff are of the view that everyone is accepted.”
- “Students in the sixth form said that the school celebrates differences which gives the school a ‘community feel’.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the activities chosen to help pupils learn do not precisely match what is set out in the curriculum.”
- “Sometimes these activities are not demanding enough, and pupils do not get the depth of knowledge they need.”
- “Some pupils and teachers have raised concerns about behaviour incidents between small numbers of pupils.”
