Campsmount Academy is a rapidly improving school that has transitioned from a previous grade of 'Requires Improvement' to 'Good' overall. The school fosters a supportive environment where pupils feel happy and safe, showing respect, ambition, and good behavior. The curriculum is well-structured and aims to prepare students for modern life, while teacher support helps all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities, thrive academically. Although there have been significant leadership improvements and increased investment from the Leger Education Trust, challenges remain in ensuring consistent attendance and support for disadvantaged pupils.
