Academy where 'students enjoy learning' celebrate 'Good' rating

The Jubilee Academy in Mossley, Walsall, has again been rated 'good' in their most recent Ofsted after being complimented for their students dedicated to learning. 

Inspectors visited the school on September 24 and September 25, finding that the learning academy was overall 'good' in all areas, including their quality of education and behaviour and attitudes. 

In the inspection, Ofsted officials said that "pupils enjoy their learning across a wide range of subjects" and that staff "quickly forge strong relationships with pupils."

The school was also noted for its high expectations of what pupils can achieve, saying that "learning builds on what pupils already know" and that "pupils see themselves as experts in different subjects - as scientists or historians - and learn well."

While the school was highly praised, inspectors said that to improve, teachers need to point out pupils' misconceptions, which they say "are sometimes not identified promptly enough".

Investigators also said that while the school has adopted efficient record-keeping systems, "the systems are not yet embedded" which means that "key information they hold cannot be used quickly and easily."

Ms Kate Benton, Principal at the Jubilee Academy Mossley, said: "I am very proud of the hard work and dedication of all the staff and children in achieving our Good Ofsted.

"It was fantastic to be recognised for the strong curriculum we offer here at Jubilee Academy and that our high expectations for what our children can achieve shine through."
