Ofsted and school performance

Our most recent full Ofsted inspection (January 2024) graded Grace Academy Coventry as "Good" for Overall Effectiveness and "Outstanding" for Personal Development. A parent’s comment, typical of those of others taken directly from the Ofsted report, was, ‘Grace Academy is a beautiful school that teaches more than academics. They have a way of teaching the children empathy for others.’

Some other highlights from the glowing report include:

• There is a purposeful atmosphere around the school. Pupils can focus on their learning well. Pupils work hard and want to learn.
• The school places an exceptionally strong emphasis on pupils’ personal development. The school ‘puts its arm around the community’ to celebrate and support pupils inside and outside school.
• The school has successfully raised expectations around learning and behaviour. The school has developed a highly ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum. All pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), follow this curriculum. The school’s actions to improve the curriculum have led to improving pupil outcomes by the end of key stage 4.
• Sixth-form teachers engage students in ambitious, challenging and independent learning. This enables students to achieve well.

KS5 performance (2024 provisional)

As was the case in 2022, neither the "Value Added" measure, nor English and/or Maths retake performance are reported as part of school performance. Our APS (Average Points Score) in both vocational and academic subjects were in line with national counterparts in 2022 and there were further improvements in 2023.
