Pegasus Academy has shown improvements in certain areas but is rated as requiring improvement overall. Leaders have created a positive school environment where pupils feel safe, behave well, and engage in their learning. The school has worked to enhance its curriculum, leading to better outcomes in subjects like English. Nevertheless, there are notable gaps, particularly in how knowledge is structured across several subjects, which has led to inconsistencies in teachers' delivery and pupils' learning. There are also concerns regarding the high rate of suspensions, particularly impacting disadvantaged students and those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The school is making efforts to address these issues, alongside initiatives to strengthen reading culture and career education. This is the school's first routine inspection since the pandemic, and the findings reflect ongoing challenges and areas for development.
