Foundational Skills: Teachers and learning assistants work hard to make sure that both their enthusiasm for reading and their phonics knowledge are consistently reinforced and developed
Success of the Curriculum: The curriculum provides a wide variety of learning experiences and opportunities for all age groups and contributes extremely successfully to the spiritual, moral, cultural and social development of the pupils
Areas Needing Improvement: Introduce a whole-school policy to ensure that pupils’ work is fully matched to their earlier learning and is applied consistently across all year groups
Performance in Maths & Reading: Most children have skills in line with, or slightly below, those typical for their age when they arrive at Mount Hawke, particularly in language and communication
Support for Falling Behind: The academy rigorously collects data on pupils’ attainment and progress. The information is analysed accurately and pupil progress meetings are held regularly

Support for SEND Pupils: The impact of well-planned interventions, particularly in Key Stage 1, is resulting in a significant improvement in the achievement of pupils with special educational needs and has successfully narrowed the gap between their attainment and that of all other pupils
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils know that all behave very well, saying that bullying is exceptionally rare and that any concerns are dealt with immediately by adults
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: The academy places a very high priority on the pupils’ safety and pastoral care
Parent Feedback: Almost all parents have a very positive view of behaviour, as expressed by those responding to the online questionnaire, Parent View
Parental Involvement: Further improve and extend communication with parents

Teacher Engagement: The teachers’ professionalism, enthusiasm and subject knowledge mean that lessons are well planned and engage and inspire all the pupils
Impact on Student Progress: As the inspection evidence showed, teaching is at least good and very often outstanding and enables all pupils to make outstanding progress regardless of their starting points
Teaching Staff Challenges: Tasks are well matched to the abilities of all pupils, including those who are disabled and those with special educational needs
