Town End Academy was inspected by Ofsted in the early summer term 2025 and we were delighted at the report that was received. The following extracts from the inspection reports capture the high standard of provision that children enjoy at Town End Academy: –

“Pupils love attending Town End Academy. It is a friendly and happy place in which to learn. A typical pupil comment was, ‘I feel safe.’ This is due to the warm and positive relationships between staff and pupils. Staff know every individual pupil well.”

“Pupils behave well and take responsibility for their own conduct. They know that staff have high ambitions for them. Pupils appreciate the extra support they get when they need it. They enjoy their learning. As a result, they achieve well.”

Congratulations to all of the staff and pupils at Town End Academy on such a positive inspection outcome.
