This is an inclusive and caring school. Leaders are ambitious for pupils. They have a clear vision for school improvement. This is having a positive impact on the school. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. The school reinforces its high expectations when teaching pupils about the ‘Grange Academy Way.’ The school emphasises the values of ‘knowledge, aspiration and respect’ so that pupils understand clearly what is expected of them. This has led to improvements in behaviour and attitudes throughout the school. The school promotes pupils’ personal development as well as academic success. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to enrich their education. In the past, pupils have not achieved as well as they should have by the end of key stage 4. Current pupils are benefiting from improvements in the quality of education. They remember and apply important knowledge, which prepares them well for their next steps in education, training, or employment. The vast majority of pupils behave well. Pupils value the support they receive from the school and feel safe. Incidents of poor behaviour have significantly reduced and are now infrequent. Pupils learn about the importance of respect and tolerance of other people. As a result, pupils typically treat one another with kindness and respect.
