Strengths
- “Perryfields Academy is a warm, friendly and welcoming school.”
- “The positive relationships between staff and pupils are tangible throughout the school.”
- “Pupils treat each other with tolerance and respect and they say Perryfields is a school where you ‘can be who you want to be’.”
To improve
- “The school has high expectations of pupils, although these expectations are not always fully realised as pupils do not achieve well enough.”
- “This is further developed in subjects such as English and history, but is still in its infancy in mathematics.”
- “However, pupils sometimes have inconsistent learning experiences due to the varying quality in how well the curriculum is taught.”
