Endeavour Co-Operative Academy

Overview:

Pupils enjoy attending the Endeavour Co-Operative Academy, a happy school with strong relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils describe the school as a family and feel safe. The school prioritises pupils' personal development and provides opportunities for them to engage in reading, sports, and socialising.

Strengths:

• Pupils enjoy attending the school and feel safe.
• The school prioritises pupils' personal development and provides opportunities for them to engage in reading, sports, and socialising.
• Teachers use assessment to shape pupils' future learning and track their progress.
• The school has a well-trained safeguarding team and robust recruitment processes to ensure pupils are kept safe.

Areas to improve:

• In some subjects, including personal, social and health education, the curriculum lacks detail on the component knowledge to be taught.
• Some pupils in key stage 2 lack the phonic knowledge to read with fluency and do not get as many opportunities as they should to read phonetically decodable books.

Safeguarding:

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Leaders have recently expanded the safeguarding team, and the designated safeguarding lead is supported by a well-trained team, confident to identify and help pupils when needed.
