E-Act Crest Academy continues to maintain a good standard of education, demonstrated by positive feedback from pupils about recent changes and the introduction of a new mantra emphasizing readiness, respect, and safety. The curriculum has been reviewed, ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), engage in a broad range of subjects. High expectations for behavior and conduct have also been set, which pupils largely meet. However, there are some concerns regarding internal communication among staff and pupils, particularly relating to the timely dissemination of important information.
