School Description

Pupils love attending Grange Academy. They often smile as they arrive in the morning and are eager to start their lessons. They behave well throughout the day and are respectful to one another, to staff and to visitors. Pupils are well cared for. They feel safe in school. They know there is always someone they can talk to if they have any concerns or worries. Pupils are well supervised at breaktimes and are confident that adults will deal with bullying effectively should it happen. Pupils know that leaders have high expectations of what they can achieve. They know what they have to do to be successful. There is a very calm, purposeful atmosphere in the school. As a result, pupils can concentrate, work hard in their lessons and achieve well. Pupils experience an ambitious curriculum. They are supported well to develop their own strengths and interests. All pupils leave the school to continue learning in further education. Parents and carers are really pleased with the school. During the inspection, one parent echoed the feelings of others, saying: ‘All staff are warm and friendly. They understand my children’s individual needs and work with them as an individual child.’
