Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Vista Academy Littleport.”
- “Older pupils in particular acknowledge that the school is much better than it used to be.”
- “Staff know their pupils very well and are determined for all pupils to be the best that they can be.”
To improve
- “However, in part due to historic weaknesses in the quality of teaching that are being tackled by the school, pupils do not gain the breadth and depth of knowledge they need to achieve as well as they should.”
- “This is reflected in published national outcomes.”
- “At times, when the curriculum is not as well delivered or when some adjustments are not made to meet their needs, some pupils do not engage with their learning as well as their peers.”
