Strengths
- “Pupils thoroughly enjoy coming to this school, where they feel happy and safe.”
- “Pupils enjoy learning and socialising with their friends.”
- “They are very proud to be members of Marlborough Road Academy.”
To improve
- “At the end of Year 6 in 2022, some pupils did not achieve well in public examinations in some subjects.”
- “That said, in a few areas, pupils are not learning all that they could.”
- “This is because some teachers do not provide sufficient opportunities for pupils to revisit and consolidate their learning.”
