Enshrines the core values in all the work of the Academy. Taking responsibility and developing leadership It is recognised that young people who take responsibility for their own learning and environment grow into more successful adults.
Since the last inspection, standards have continued to improve. Pupils at key stage 4 make strong progress in a range of subjects from their low starting points.
Outcomes in , for example, showed further improved outcomes, particularly in English and mathematics. You and your governors are reflective of your own practices, and you strive to improve further the educational provision that you provide. It enables you to take swift and decisive actions where performance is not in line with your high expectations. As a result, pupils achieve strong outcomes. You have addressed the areas for improvement from the previous inspection effectively.
As a result, middle leaders now form a strong group of professionals within the school, and they support you and your leaders to drive further school improvements. Furthermore, pupils now receive feedback that aids their learning and skill acquisition. Consequently, they make better progress. Pupils arrive at your school from a wide range of settings. Approximately 47 schools feed into your school. You are highly successful in reintegrating these pupils back into their education and, as a result, they achieve good outcomes and complete the phase of their education.
You and governors, who are a dedicated group of professionals that bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the school, originally created the school to improve the life chances for your pupils. You are highly successful in this aim. Pupils leave the school to a wide range of appropriate destinations.
Pupils move into a range of opportunities within these businesses and thrive. Your joint vision to be a school with a strong reputation for educating the next generation of highly skilled engineers has become a reality. For instance, a number of previous pupils from the school have gone on to win regional and national apprenticeship awards. That sounds rather more interesting than religious knowledge. But then the real bombshell is dropped. The houses at my school were imaginatively named North, South, East and West, because of their orientation.
The relevance of all are obvious, but Arkwright is particularly interesting, because the Academy is located in an old mill founded by Richard Arkwright. The Academy also takes in apprentices from JCB as well as other local engineering companies. A less visionary proprietor than Lord Bamford could have made the Academy into a sort of JCB Land, but in practice, the establishment is also sponsored by a multitude of well-known engineering names, such as Bentley , Toyota and Rolls-Royce the aerospace company, not the unrelated car maker.
Some Year 11s are on a break between classes and have time for a chat. Any petrolheads? But what impresses me the most about the Academy is the value put on practical skills. On its website, there are testimonials from ex-pupils that include one who after the Academy enrolled at The Welding Institute at Cambridge. My teachers would have thought it was a place you went to learn how to replace the sills on a Mk2 Ford Escort. Apply to the most sought-after school in Staffordshire and Derbyshire.
