A Nottingham school has rated 'Good' by Ofsted and praised for its ambitious curriculum. Ofsted inspectors visited Djanogly Sherwood Academy on January 17 and 18, and graded the school 'Good' for its quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management and early years provision.
However, the school was deemed 'Outstanding' in regards to personal development. The academy has 355 students, and inspectors found that all pupils were encouraged to have high aspirations and everyone was happy and felt they belonged.
The inspection also found that teachers have good subject knowledge and deliver interesting lessons, and that there is "an ambitious curriculum in place" that is well sequenced and planned. The report also stated that there is an "inclusive vision" for the school, and pupils with special educational needs, disabilities, or speak English as an additional language all well provided for.
Hayley Keen, Headteacher, Djanogly Sherwood Academy, said: “We are absolutely delighted that overall Ofsted has graded us as a ‘good’ school following our first inspection and recognised that we are one where everyone belongs.
"It’s also a real credit to our pupils and staff that in one of the inspection criteria, personal development, we were graded as ‘outstanding’, supporting our children to become confident, responsible and thoughtful citizens who are considerate of those around them.”
This Ofsted inspection was the first one to occur at the school since it opened in September 2014. It also praised the school for developing pupils beyond the academic and providing many opportunities for students to develop character.
Liz Anderson, Chief Executive Officer, Djanogly Learning Trust, added: “This is a fantastic endorsement of staff and pupils at Djanogly Sherwood Academy and I would like to congratulate them on their success.”
