Ofsted Inspection Report March 2026
Posted on 24th Apr 2026We are delighted to inform you that our latest Ofsted inspection report is now available to view and that Attleborough Academy has been recognised as being STRONG in most areas.
Neil McShane, Executive Principal said "We are very proud of this report which recognises the hard work, commitment and professionalism of our staff, the very positive attitudes of our students and the strong support of our families and Trust. We were judged against the new Ofsted framework, where expectations have been deliberately raised and we were told most schools can now expect to be judged as at 'Expected standard' with a 'Needs attention' grading in some areas. Against that backdrop, it is reassuring that inspectors graded us as 'Strong' in almost all aspects of our work.
The inspection confirms what we see every day: a school with high expectations, a strong culture of inclusion and care and a relentless focus on helping every young person succeed. We remain ambitious for our students and committed to continuous improvement, building on this very strong foundation as we move forward."
You can read the full report here or request a printed copy from the Academy office.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us make our school a place where every child can thrive.
