What Ofsted said about Stockwell Academy
Overview
Stockwell Academy continues to be a good school, providing pupils with a "safe space to learn" where "warm, positive relationships are at the heart of the school." Leaders maintain high expectations, particularly prioritising the development of foundational language, reading, and mathematics skills for pupils who enter with low starting points.
Strengths
- The phonics scheme is clear, with regular checks ensuring pupils at risk of falling behind receive extra sessions, fostering a "love of reading."
- Early years leaders create a "welcoming and engaging environment" where adults skilfully support children to develop language skills and concentration.
- The school swiftly identifies the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), allowing them to thrive in well-designed nurture provisions or alongside peers.
- Staff are valued and proud, supported by trust leaders who "support and challenge school leaders well to continue to improve the school."
- The PSHE curriculum helps pupils develop a "keen sense of right and wrong" and an appreciation for individual differences.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, curriculum improvements are in early stages; further work is needed to ensure intended knowledge is clear and links across year groups are "purposeful and sequential."
- Pupils lack a sufficient understanding of British values and how these impact their lives; the school must ensure these are "taught explicitly to all pupils."
- Attendance remains an issue, as some pupils do not attend regularly; the school needs to "re-energise its work with families" to ensure daily, punctual attendance.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
