School Description

Myles Academy is a calm and nurturing school. Leaders have established a strong child-centred ethos and staff and pupils share these values. Leaders focus on re-engaging pupils in learning. Pupils who have not attended school for long periods of time enjoy coming to school. They flourish academically and socially because of the care and support they receive. Pupils who have limited experiences of success grow in confidence and self-belief. Leaders have high expectations of pupils and this helps pupils to behave well. Positive relationships between teachers and peers help pupils to settle into school. Pupils say this school is different because ‘teachers understand them’. Bullying is not tolerated. Differences are celebrated; it is ok to be yourself. Pupils say they feel safe at school. Leaders place deliberate emphasis on basic skills, including English, mathematics and science. This means that pupils are well prepared for their next phases of education. Some pupils have firm career plans in place; these are supported fully by school. A few areas of the curriculum are less well developed. This means that pupils do not learn as much as they could in these areas because the content does not challenge all pupils. Alongside the taught curriculum, pupils access opportunities outside of the classroom that develop their social and cultural understanding. Pupils enjoy trips into their local community to explore and celebrate diversity.
