Tregolls Academy is demonstrating a strong overall performance with significant improvements in various areas since the previous inspection. The school has successfully established an open culture of safeguarding, ensuring pupils feel safe and secure. Attendance has been addressed effectively, bringing it in line with national averages, while pupils generally demonstrate positive behaviour and attitudes towards learning. However, despite these strengths, the school faces challenges regarding academic achievement, particularly in reading, writing, and mathematics, where many pupils, including disadvantaged students, are not adequately prepared for the next stage of their education.
