Everything that happens at Quest Academy helps pupils to be ready to learn and to be ‘ready for life’. This results in tangible benefits, both personal and academic, for all pupils. Pupils are very well supported to help develop their self-confidence and self-belief. The pupils spoken to told inspectors how much better they are doing at this school. One pupil summed this up by saying, ‘I feel good about the future.’ Parents and carers wholeheartedly agree with this view. The school rules, be ready, be respectful, be safe, are reinforced daily. Staff model the high expectations that they have for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils are well supported to learn to manage their own behaviour. Many pupils are highly motivated by the school’s reward system. They aim to reach ‘diamond’ status on a weekly basis. Pupils feel safe in school and have trusted adults with whom they can talk. Incidents of bullying do occur from time to time, but leaders deal with them effectively. All pupils benefit from an extensive range of opportunities to support their personal development. These include the ‘ACE’ (adventure, community and enterprise) curriculum and opportunities to showcase their achievements and talents at ‘Questival’.
