Following inspection in July 2021 we are pleased that OFSTED found that Aylward Academy continues to be a good school and there has not been a drop in the quality of education and safeguarding on offer for our students.  In terms of the safety and wellbeing of our students, the report states that:

• “Pupils describe the school as being a ‘community’. They value the friendships that are formed here. Pupils said that bullying was rare.”

• “Pupils champion equality and look out for others.”

When reporting on the quality of the educational journey on offer at the school for our students the report states:

• “Pupils described the school as ‘ambitious’. This ambition was seen in the work that has gone into developing the curriculum offer since the last inspection.”

• “Leaders have high expectations of pupils. These expectations are evident as you walk around the school.”

• “Parents and carers speak positively about teachers.”
