OFSTED INSPECTION SUMMARY The academy was formally inspected by Ofsted on 21st June 2016. This is the first short inspection carried out since the school was judged to be good in November 2012. Inspectors attended lessons, spoke with children and staff formally and informally, met with governors and reviewed parent feedback submitted via ParentView. We are delighted that Her Majesty’s Inspector Kim Pigram has confirmed that the school continues to be good, in her post inspection letter of 20th July 2016. It is pleasing that the achievements of children, staff, parents and governors have been officially recognised and endorsed at the very highest level. We are most grateful for the overwhelming support so many parents give so consistently. The inspectors said, “Goldington Academy is a very welcoming school where pupils achieve well. Pupils, from the youngest to the eldest, and from varying backgrounds, work together with respect for one another and the staff. Pupils feel a sense of belonging at Goldington Academy and, consequently, they are well placed to learn and achieve.” In summary, some of the headline statements are as follows: • Pupils achieve well at Goldington Academy. Since the previous inspection overall standards of attainment have risen in line with national expectations. Moreover, gaps between the achievement of disadvantaged pupils and their classmates are closing rapidly. • Current school assessment information, and evidence seen on inspection, demonstrates that overall school performance continues to improve. • Leaders have made improvements to assessment and the curriculum diligently and thoughtfully. • Where pupils are underperforming or struggling, leaders use the information well to intervene rapidly. • Pupils and parents appreciate the quality of the education and opportunities that they receive at Goldington. Pupils talk very enthusiastically about their ‘fun’ lessons where they learn well and the array of extra-curricular opportunities which include football, gym, arts and craft, tennis, debating, cheerleading, the school choir, residential trips, day visits and music lessons.

Page 5: Engaging minds. Nurturing success. Inspiring futures. · 2020. 9. 24. · Nurturing success. Inspiring futures. ... which provides an insight into the organisation and experiences

• Most parents are very pleased with the education that their children are receiving and comment on the ‘excellent principal’ and high-quality senior leadership team. Parents also appreciate the communication that they receive, most notably over the potential future changes for the school and what it means for their children. Safeguarding is effective. • There is a strong ethos and culture of safeguarding in the school. • The assistant headteacher, who is the designated safeguarding lead, is tenacious in ensuring that safeguarding is at the forefront of the work that staff undertake. • Pupils are taught how to stay safe through a well-thought-out curriculum which enables them to understand the risks both online and in their day-to-day life. • Pupils say that bullying does not happen often but, when it does, it is dealt with well. Inspection findings (highlights) • Leaders’ and governors’ evaluation of the school is accurate and thorough. They use it methodically to check that the school is constantly improving against the priorities identified. • You have actively sought external validation of your own self-evaluation, most notably through the school’s work with the Pilgrim Learning Trust and with a school improvement consultant. • The proportion of pupils achieving the expected standard and above in reading, writing and mathematics at key stage 2 is similar to the national average. These results have improved since the previous inspection. School information, and the work scrutinised during the inspection, indicates that pupils make good progress during key stage 3, particularly in English and science. This is due to the effective teaching that they receive. • Governors, led by a conscientious chair of the governing body, are determined that the school will provide the best education for each pupil. They bring a range of expertise to the role and use these skills to challenge and support the senior team over many aspects of the school’s work.
