School Description

The Wells Academy is an inclusive and diverse school. Leaders ensure that all pupils feel included. For example, pupils enjoyed a ‘culture day’ where they learned about the different cultures in the local community. Pupils said that this helped them to understand each other’s backgrounds. Most pupils say they enjoy school. They say they feel safe. Most pupils are respectful to each other and to staff. Pupils state that bullying sometimes happens. They are confident that staff will deal with any issues effectively. Pupils behave well at break and lunchtimes. Most lessons are calm and orderly. Pupils say that lessons sometimes get disrupted by poor behaviour. They say that teachers do not always use the behaviour policy consistently. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These expectations are not always realised. Some teachers do not always insist that pupils produce high-quality work. Some pupils do not always complete work in lessons. There are a range of clubs that pupils can attend. For example, pupils go to football, badminton, volleyball and art club. Some pupils also attend the free breakfast club the school provides.
