Hill View Academy is a school that has gone through a period of rapid transformation. Throughout school, the ‘R’ of respect is highly visible through the way pupils interact with each other. Pupils are surrounded by adults they know care deeply about them and want the best for them. Leaders’ ambitions for pupils academically and socially are beginning to be realised more consistently. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They enjoy being in lessons and learning with, and alongside, each other. They build strong relationships with adults in the school. Relationship building has been at the heart of what leaders have developed and improved in the school over the recent past. These secure relationships mean that pupils feel confident to share concerns with adults, and to ask for help when they need it. If bullying does happen, pupils rightly have full confidence in staff to deal with this and address it. Leaders know that for pupils to be successful, pupils need to be in school. Attendance has been a challenge for several years. Leaders have worked to improve attendance for all pupils. This has made a difference, particularly for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, some of the strategies for identifying families and pupils who need support around attendance need further development.
