What This School Does Well
The Mosley Academy creates a warm, inclusive environment where all children feel safe and happy. The curriculum has been carefully designed to help pupils learn important knowledge and vocabulary, with particularly strong support for early reading. The school celebrates difference and teaches pupils about other cultures and faiths, helping them develop respect and tolerance for others.
Key Strengths

- Strong behaviour and attendance systems, with the '4Rs' promoting positive relationships
- Leadership is inspirational and committed to continuous improvement
- Wide range of pupil-led clubs and activities that develop talents and interests
Areas for Improvement
- Misconceptions and gaps in pupils' writing (spelling, punctuation, handwriting) are not always addressed quickly enough

Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with clear systems in place for pupils to report concerns.
