School Description

The Peak Academy aspires for pupils to increase their self-worth and learn how to ‘thrive in society’. It is a place where pupils re-engage with their education and contribute to their community. This reflects the school’s values, which include trust, respect, care and independence. The school is ambitious for its pupils and staff want them to do well. However, the quality of education is not currently good. Some pupils do not remember the knowledge they have been taught, which slows the progress they make through the curriculum. Too many pupils do not attend school well enough and therefore are missing out on their education. The school has high expectations for how pupils will behave and what they will achieve and typically pupils achieve well from often low starting points. Pupils know what is expected of them during lessons and social times. Any conflicts are calmed quickly. Pupils learn how to respect themselves, each other and adults. The school offers strong pastoral support to pupils. Pupils enjoy warm relationships with adults and soon develop a sense of belonging. Pupils get the care and support they need to overcome challenges. They are confident that they can share any worries or concerns. Pupils trust that the school will listen and act promptly. This helps them to feel safe.
