Outwood Academy Normanby has been assessed as inadequate overall, with key areas requiring significant improvement. Despite having high expectations for pupil achievement and support from the Outwood Grange Academies Trust, the school has struggled to foster a positive learning environment. The school's behavior and attitudes section is notably deficient, as a considerable minority of students demonstrate a lack of respect and negative attitudes toward their education, which disrupts the learning experience for others. The persistent absence of many students, exacerbated by suspensions, has also led to gaps in knowledge and poor academic outcomes. This is the school's first inspection since joining the trust, and the challenges faced have been partly attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
