Many pupils report that they are happy at Wilnecote Junior Academy and enjoy social times. They know that if they have a concern they can approach an adult who will help them to resolve it. Pupils are clear about how they are supported to stay safe, for example, online. However, many pupils report that they are frustrated by the inconsistencies in the school. These include how they can be disturbed in class by poor behaviour or how they are taught. One pupil, typical of many, said the school ‘could be better’. The curriculum has been renewed by leaders across the school. Some of the curriculum is very new, and there are inconsistencies in how well pupils are supported to learn the curriculum in a range of subjects. Pupils enjoy music and the many opportunities they have to perform and to develop their musical knowledge with instruments. Pupils appreciate the trips and visits that the school organises, including work in the local community. This includes litter picking in the local area and writing Christmas cards for a retirement home. Pupils especially enjoy ‘forest Friday’ when they take part in activities outside.
