Many pupils enjoy attending BOA Digital Technologies Academy. They value their project work in digital technology lessons and the visits they receive from different businesses and employers. Staff are committed to ensuring that pupils see the connection between what they learn in the classroom and the potential jobs of the future. Pupils generally behave well. In lessons, they are keen to contribute their views and ideas. At social times, pupils sit together sensibly in the dining hall and enjoy playing table tennis in the courtyard. Pupils say that if incidents of bullying do occur, they are confident that staff will take action to resolve these. The school has high expectations of pupils and has put in place a broad range of subjects for pupils to study. However, in some subjects, pupils are not securing the necessary knowledge and skills they need. In addition, the work that some pupils produce in their exercise books is not of a good quality. A range of different visits extend pupils’ learning beyond the classroom. These include annual trips to the theatre, as well as trips for science and art. Pupils are also involved in the ‘BOA’s Got Talent’ competition each year.
