Edith Weston Academy is performing well as a good school, providing a happy and inclusive environment where pupils are encouraged to develop essential character traits. The leadership team has recently overhauled the curriculum to enhance teaching methods in phonics and other subjects, and they are committed to ensuring that all pupils are supported in their learning. With a strong focus on emotional and behavioral well-being, the school has succeeded in fostering positive relationships among pupils and maintaining effective behaviour management. However, some challenges persist, particularly in ensuring that the new curriculum meets the diverse needs of all students adequately.
