A WESTON academy "continues to be a good school" according to its latest Ofsted report.

Hans Price Academy, part of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF), was visited by inspectors on November 30 and December 1.

The Marchfields Way school has been rated as "Good" since 2013 and has continued this positive streak.

During the visit, Ofsted's inspection team scrutinised lessons and pupil work, as well as interviewed leaders, teachers, students and parents.

In her report, lead inspector Victoria Griffing wrote: “Hans Price Academy continues to be a good school.

“A sense of ‘belonging’ is at the heart of Hans Price Academy’s ethos. The school has high expectations for its pupils. These go hand in hand with warm relationships. Staff treat every pupil as an individual.

“Pupils are encouraged to take responsibility and develop resilience. Pupils feel safe and well cared for in the ‘learning families’ within the school’s four ‘colleges’.

“There are effective systems in place to support good behaviour. Pupils reflect on and respond to behaviour that does not meet the school’s high expectations.

“The school does not compromise on maintaining a calm and orderly environment in which pupils can learn.

“The school’s ‘ready to learn’ policy underpins its unique culture. It supports pupils to make the right choices.”

The school's safeguarding policies were also deemed as "effective", whilst its SEND support means that "pupils receive the right help at the right time."

Adrian Esch, Hans Price Academy head of school, said: “We are incredibly proud of our community and the culture we have built to ensure that every child has the opportunity to be their very best and leave school as well-rounded individuals.

"This report is testimony to the years of hard work and commitment from our staff, students and the families we serve."

Tony Searle, CLF executive principal, said: “It has been a privilege to work alongside the Hans Price community for the past 10 years. 

"The students and families we serve are a brilliant and diverse group of people who, alongside an exceptionally committed and tenacious staff body, continue to aspire to even greater things."

Steve Taylor, CLF chief executive, concluded: “Hans Price has been a consistently strong academy for a number of years now and is quite simply a great place to go to school.

"All of us in the Cabot Learning Federation are proud of what our colleagues and the students have been able to achieve. Well done to all.”
