NEWS FROM INSPIRATION TRUST Ofsted success across family of schools Our schools have seen Ofsted success during 2020. Charles Darwin Primary School received an Outstanding grading for its ‘culture of high ambitions for staff and pupils’and the strengths of the ‘high quality’ curriculum. The report also said that the school inspires ‘confident, inquisitive learners’ that ‘make very strong progress’. Norwich Primary Academy has been rated as Good thanks to its significant improvement in reading that has inspired pupils to ‘love reading’. The school recently celebrated its best ever phonics results – which were above the Norfolk average. Ofsted said: ‘In Reception, children are introduced to exciting books and a wide range of vocabulary. This continues throughout the school. The teaching of phonics ensures that pupils learn to read well and catch up quickly if needed.’ The Thetford Academy was also rated as Good. Ofsted said the “curriculum ensures pupils deepen their thinking” and that pupils “feel valued and cared for”. The report said that teachers make sure ‘pupils are not left behind’ and that Year 11 maths, science and modern foreign language progress was in the top 20% of schools nationally last year.

Wayland Academy joins Inspiration Trust We have expanded our family of schools. In April, Wayland Academy Norfolk, in Watton, joined us – it’s now named Wayland Academy. The academy left Norfolk Academies, after a review found it would benefit from being partnered in larger groupings of similar schools. We already supported seven secondary schools – including The Thetford Academy and Sixth Form nearby. Inspiration Trust supports Oak National Academy We’re proud to support Oak National Academy. Our Principal, David Thomas, was involved in the launch of the online platform and a team of our teachers helped to develop lessons during school closures. We’re committed to continuing the development of resources over the next year. Academies create PPE for local frontline workers The Thetford Academy has created more than 1,500 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) for people working on the frontline during the Covid-19 crisis. The school has now helped 11 local care homes, The Bishop's Church of England Primary Academy and staff at The Thetford Academy. Hethersett Academy used the school’s 3D printers to create vital PPE for frontline NHS staff, community workers and volunteer services. The school’s students also created boilable fabric bags for NHS staff at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
