What Ofsted says about Abbotsweld Primary Academy:
“Teachers and teaching assistants work closely together. They plan a good range of learning opportunities for children, covering all the areas of the early years curriculum. The environment, both indoors and outdoors, is attractive and interesting for young children. For example, children are provided with physical activities that give them the opportunity to learn to manage risks safely.”
“The executive headteacher has made an enormous contribution to the improvements in this school in the two and a half years that she has been in post. She uses the ‘fire in her belly’ and her very high aspirations to continually and doggedly pursue excellence in every aspect of school life. The executive headteacher has a very clear vision for the future development of the school, based on a thorough understanding of what works in education and how children learn.”
“High aspiration pervades leadership at all levels at Abbotsweld. Some leaders ‘belong’ to the school, while others ‘belong’ to the hub. This makes no difference. The vision and the passion to provide the best possible education remain the same. The school has improved enormously and continues to improve rapidly as a result.”
“Pupils behave very well, both in their lessons and during less-structured parts of the day. A consistent approach by all staff means that pupils always know what is expected of them.”
“The school benefits from working collaboratively with the other schools in its ‘hub’. The shared lead practitioners have a clear impact on improving the quality of teaching.”
“The school’s culture of continual development means that teaching is always improving. Teachers are given excellent opportunities to develop their own practice.”
