Wellington Lions Primary Academy has shown significant improvement since its last inspection, moving from Requires Improvement to a Good overall rating. The school demonstrates a commitment to raising expectations and fostering a positive learning environment, with leaders actively engaging pupils in their education and encouraging curiosity. They have implemented an ambitious curriculum that is inclusive and well-sequenced, although there are still challenges related to the impact of this curriculum on published outcomes, particularly in reading and mathematics at key stage 2. The school serves a diverse population, with many pupils joining mid-year, which the leadership team is effectively managing.
