The academy is larger than the average-sized secondary school. The proportion of students from minority ethnic heritages is well below average, as is the proportion who speak English as an additional language. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is below average. The proportion supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is also below average. The proportion of students supported through the pupil premium, which is additional funding given to schools for students in local authority care and those known to be eligible for free school meals, is below average. The academy meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress. The academy works in partnership with three training companies, Swan CIC Training Partnership, Minnet Construction and Centurion Training to provide education off the school site. A small number of students in Key Stage 4 study a range of work-related courses with these training providers for part of the week. The Elizabeth Woodville School converted to become an academy in December 2012. Its predecessor school, which was also called The Elizabeth Woodville School, was not previously inspected by Ofsted; it was created in August 2011 through an amalgamation of Kingsbrook School and Roade Sports College. The academy is part of an academy group called The Learning Schools Trust. Some staff from the academy provide leadership support to other academies in the group. The academy is on two campuses approximately eight miles apart. Students in Years 7 to 11 remain on the same site all week, but some sixth-form students travel between the sites.
