John Port Spencer Academy is performing well overall, with a good quality of education, strong leadership, and positive behavior among students. The school has built strong relationships between staff and pupils, ensuring that most students feel safe and respected. However, the personal development curriculum requires improvement as many pupils express concerns about the quality and sufficiency of what they are being taught in this area. The school, part of the Spencer Academies Trust, has not been previously inspected under section 5 and this was its first routine inspection since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
