Beckfield recognised as 'Good' in all areas following latest Ofsted inspection

We’re delighted to share the news that Co-op Academy Beckfield has been recognised as a ‘Good’ school by Ofsted, marking a significant milestone in its journey of transformation.

The latest inspection highlighted the school’s commitment to creating a safe and inclusive learning environment where pupils thrive academically and socially.

Ofsted praised the school for its high expectations for achievement and behaviour, noting ‘pupils enjoy attending the school and their improving attendance reflects the school’s thoughtful approach to promoting regular attendance’. 

The report went on to commend the ‘calm and orderly’ school for its ambitious curriculum and ‘carefully designed’ learning environments where pupils are ‘keen to share their learning with visitors’ and ‘children in the early years interact well with each other.’

Behaviour was also noticeably celebrated with the report recognising ‘Incidents of poor behaviour have significantly reduced.’

Since the last inspection, where the academy was deemed as ‘requires improvement’, the report highlighted the development in the ‘ambitious curriculums for all subjects’, going on to recognise the improvement both in published outcomes and attendance.

“I am so, so proud of everything we have achieved since the last inspection. This report reflects all the hard work and determination by everybody involved with Beckfield, and it feels really great to have the improvements recognised. 

“Our goal has always been to support children to achieve their best and to be confident, ambitious learners. The report means the start of another new chapter for our wonderful school and we're all very excited about what it will bring.”

"Co-op Academy Beckfield has truly earned this recognition from Ofsted. The school has made remarkable progress, with leaders and staff fostering an inclusive environment that benefits every student at Beckfield. 

“Ofsted has clearly acknowledged the journey of improvement Beckfield has been on and we are immensely proud of the staff, leadership team, pupils, and families who have worked together to make this well-deserved achievement possible."
