Laureate Academy has been assessed as performing well overall, demonstrating a good quality of education and effective leadership and management. Although this is the school's first inspection under Section 5 of the Education Act 2005, it has established a positive environment where pupils feel safe and happy. The curriculum is ambitious and well-structured, and pupils benefit from a range of extracurricular opportunities that enhance their learning experience. However, there are some concerns regarding attendance and the consistent implementation of strategies to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
