Pupils do not receive an acceptable standard of education. Although new leaders have started to tackle the very significant weaknesses of Sky Academy, it is too early to see any impact. Leaders have recently clarified the structure of the curriculum. They have changed the organisation of the upper school. However, these changes have yet to ensure that pupils develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. Pupils’ special educational needs and/or disabilities are not being met. Too many pupils do not engage in lessons. Some behave very poorly. Leaders and staff say behaviour is now better than it was. However, expectations remain low. Staff do not consistently challenge low-level disruption and pupils’ lack of engagement in lessons. This impacts negatively on pupils’ learning. On occasions, it means that pupils’ behaviour gets worse. They become aggressive and disrupt the learning of others. Pupils’ attendance has been consistently low over a period of time. Most pupils are happy and feel that staff understand them. They feel safe and they appreciate the activities they do. Staff take bullying seriously. Pupils feel that any problems will be sorted out.
