Strengths
- “Oakfield Academy has improved significantly in recent years.”
- “Leaders have taken significant action to raise aspirations and outcomes for all pupils.”
- “Their positive and decisive actions have led to strong, sustainable improvements for pupils.”
To improve
- “Teachers check how well pupils have learned, but do not put all this information to best use when planning future lessons.”
- “This means that, despite their efforts, teachers miss some opportunities to build on pupils’ previous learning.”
- “However, teachers need to ensure all pupils fully engage in the classroom learning.”
