Wroughton Junior Academy completes remarkable improvement journey in latest Ofsted inspection

Wroughton Junior Academy is celebrating a positive Ofsted inspection outcome after meeting the Expected Standard in every area assessed under Ofsted's new report card framework. Inspectors also confirmed that all safeguarding requirements are met.

The outcome marks an important milestone in the school's improvement journey, coming less than three years after its previous inspection. Ofsted recognised the significant progress made across the school, including in achievement, curriculum and teaching, inclusion, personal development and wellbeing, and leadership and governance. 

The report paints a highly positive picture of life at Wroughton. Inspectors found that pupils enjoy attending school, behave exceptionally well and have a real sense of belonging. They praised the school's ambitious curriculum, inclusive culture and the wide range of opportunities available to pupils beyond the classroom. 

Inspectors also highlighted the school's commitment to supporting vulnerable pupils, noting that pupils with SEND feel included and are supported effectively. The report recognised the positive relationships between pupils and staff, as well as the calm and focused atmosphere within classrooms. 

Jessica Balls, Headteacher, said:

"I am incredibly proud of our children, staff and families. This outcome reflects the hard work, commitment and determination of our whole school community.

"What pleased me most is that inspectors recognised what our pupils bring to school every day. They found that children enjoy attending school, behave exceptionally well and feel a real sense of belonging within our community.

"While we are proud of how far we have come, we remain ambitious and will continue working to ensure every child receives the very best education and opportunities to succeed."

Parents, carers and members of the community are invited to read the full report and explore the key findings on our dedicated Ofsted page.
