Quotations from the Ofsted visit in January 2019:

  • "Outcomes have improved because of strong subject leadership".
  • "The behaviour of pupils is good. There is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect across the school. Pupils' conduct is calm and orderly".
  • "Staff morale is high. They believe that leaders and governors take staff members' wellbeing and workload into account, and they feel well supported by the school".
  • "Staff new to the school feel very well supported by their more experienced colleagues and the packages of training and support on offer".
  • "Comprehensive induction and training programmes offered by senior leaders and the link advisor ensure that they very quickly establish themselves in their posts".
  • "Pupils show a well-developed understanding and tolerance for others who are different from them. Tolerance and diversity are promoted well at Aylesbury Vale Academy".
