About Weavers Academy
Having achieved a 2022 Ofsted grading of ‘good’, in all areas including leadership, inspectors found that pupils are proud of Weavers and as a result behave well in lessons and around the school. The academy has pursued a rigorous and continuous programme of educational improvement which can be seen and measured throughout the academy. Work that the school has done to further improve behaviour and attendance has resulted in students becoming increasingly ambitious for their futures.
We are committed to ensuring that all students reach their full educational potential. This comprises of our 4 key curriculum areas in Academic, Ambition and our Co-curricular & Extracurricular programmes. Our curriculum development has resulted in a highly effective and sequenced curriculum that provides a secure platform ready for expert delivery.

We are proud of the co-curricular and extra-curricular programmes that all staff play an active part in, that means over 1300 pupils per week have access to high quality and planned additional activities.

We have a commitment to staff development, and we have put in place a detailed programme of profession development that provides weekly CPD for staff. As a result, curriculum planning, teaching strategies and assessment techniques have advanced and drive student progress.
